Gosh, what better Christmas memories does this make?
Grandma let these two precious grandsons put on as many of the chartreuse ornaments as they wanted.
There may be two or three on the same branch but those can be rearranged later or just left the way they are, especially since those are sweet little hands placing the ornaments.
My daughter is using silver and chartreuse on her living room tree again and we are decorating together.
Plus lots of sparkle
and glitz.
A silver star for the top.
I wanted the lights to show in my pictures so I set the camera on manual and set my IOS setting to a much higher number. I didn't use a tripod but tried to hold the camera very still. You can then brighten/lighten your pictures in Photoshop or any other picture editing program. I always adjust the contrast when I brighten images.
I'm using some photography tips from Courtney at Click It Up A Notch as I take pictures of decorating the tree and my evening picture below.
Here's the tip from her Newsletter that I used on the evening picture above.
1. Turn off ALL the lights but the tree.
You want your house to be pitch black. You want the only lights on are the lights from the tree.
I'm so glad I used Courtney's Tips for my pictures. I am happy with my results - Judy.

ReplyDeleteJudy, I had to make myself walk away from the gorgeous chartreuse garlands and swags at Costco. Your grandsons did a terrific job of decorating their tree. So sweet and cute. Thanks for sharing with us. Helen

I love the colors of the tree! So fun and festive and you can never have too much glitz on a Christmas tree!
ReplyDeleteI love all the sparkle on your tree!
ReplyDeleteThe silver and green colours on the tree are just beautiful and those ornaments look really special. Thanks for the tip on night time photos, thats why I didnt put many up of my photos up I struggle to take good shots at night so can only manage to take them in the daytime.
ReplyDeleteIt's been many years ago now but you have just lifted up a Christmas memory for me. Letting the children place the ornaments is special and I like that it doesn't bother you they are not perfect. I love the colors. Great tree and cute little grans.
ReplyDeleteMy little boy decided to place several ornaments in a row on his level much to my surprise and amusement. I can still smile and chuckle that he rearranged our tree so he could see and enjoy just like he liked them.
Love it! Very pretty tree!
