396 - Christmas Time Is Here (Sort Of)



At least that’s what the shops want us to believe, and it gets earlier every year.

This morning I shot a wreath of holly in front of a flower shop in Josefstädter Straße. Again I used the Sigma 20/1.8 at f1.8, 1/60s and ISO 100, the front lens almost touching the leaves.

I hope you don’t mind that I take the easy road: The Song of the Day is “Christmas Time Is Here” from Holly Cole’s 2001 Christmas album “Baby It’s Cold Outside”. Sorry, couldn’t resist 🙂

Hear sound samples here. Oh, and when you’re there, don’t forget to hear into the last song, “What About Me”. Holly at her best.
