17/365 The Evil Little Christmas Tree

So I decided that I would try to get myself into the Christmas mood early this year by decorating this little tree with lights...

 

Only it had other plans....

 

I started to put the lights on with no difficulty at all, when suddenly, the tree rebelled against my will! It threw the lights off and said, "I will not wear any lights this year!"

 

I fought back and struggled to get a few of the lights back on. But the more I tried, the stronger this tree became.

 

The epic battle raged on for hours and the tree only became more defiant. It kicked and scream and started throwing punches at me. I managed to miss the first few...but then he knocked me out cold.

 

When I woke up nearly 30 minutes later, I found the tree still and lifeless, and myself covered in lights...

 

I guess the evil little tree won.

If it is possible, I may have had a little to much fun with this one :P Even the story may have gone a tad to far...but oh well :P

 

I got this done with about 2 minutes to spare at 11:58pm. I only had about 20 minutes to shoot so I had to hurry if I wanted to get this right. It started with having to spend what seemed like an eternity to get the string of lights untangled from what was one massive knot. And then I have to experiment to get both the focus right and the lighting as close to right as I could. I was only really able to shoot 6 or 7 actual shots before being forced to look and see how I did.

 

Then after looking on my laptop I saw where I could improve and got off 4 or 5 more before midnight.

 

For those who will think that the tree is to dark, this is intentionally done on my part. Afterall, it is an evil tree, so it shall be dark :P

 

And TA DA!!!!!!!! The finished product :)
