1st of December... Yay! It's Christmas! This year I'll be spending Christmas in Taipei so I have the feeling it will be a little bit different than usual.

 

Decided today to jump on the board the 'I can see myself in a Christmas decoration' boat. Everyone's doing it, it has to be cool!

Christmas Day and you can see the sun just for a short time.

Brampton gets ready for Christmas 2022

 

Brampton, Cumbria

 

Brampton is a small market town, civil parish and electoral ward within the City of Carlisle district of Cumbria, England, about 9 miles (14 km) east of Carlisle and 2 miles (3.2 km) south of Hadrian's Wall. Historically part of Cumberland, it is situated off the A69 road which bypasses it. Brampton railway station, on the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway, is about a mile outside the town, near the hamlet of Milton.

 

St Martin's Church is famous as the only church designed by the Pre-Raphaelite architect Philip Webb, and contains one of the most exquisite sets of stained glass windows designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones, and executed in the William Morris studio.

 

The town was founded in the 7th century as an Anglian settlement.

 

Brampton was granted a Market Charter in 1252 by King Henry III, and became a market town as a result.

 

During the Jacobite rising of 1745, Charles Edward Stuart stayed in the town for one night, marked by a plaque on the wall of the building (a shoe shop) currently occupying the location; here he received the Mayor of Carlisle who had been summoned to Brampton to surrender the city to the Young Pretender. The Capon Tree Monument, to the south of the town centre, commemorates the 1746 hanging of six Jacobites from the branches of the Capon Tree, Brampton's hitherto traditional trysting place.

 

In 1817 the Earl of Carlisle built the octagonal Moot Hall, which is in the centre of Brampton and houses the Tourist Information Centre. It replaced a 1648 building which was once used by Oliver Cromwell to house prisoners.

 

Much of Brampton consists of historic buildings built of the local red sandstone.

  

I made today some preparations for the Christmas dessert. :)

 

Rolls filled with whipped cream :)

I got to take a few shots of Bluee over the Christmas holidays. Took a while but feel this is the best out the lot. He wouldn't stop moving or sliding on the floor and seen as he doesn't like cameras anyway, we seen to get a good shot of him.

The 26th annual Community Christmas program for the Riverbend community in Illinois collected 19,252 items for those in need during the holiday season. The program, sponsored by United Way's Southwest Illinois Division and The Telegraph, wrapped up on Thursday, December 10, when more than 100 boxes were picked up from local businesses, dropped off at a central location, and then were sorted for distribution to the 17 recipient agencies. Items donated included non-perishable food, clothes, winter weather necessities like gloves, hats and scarves, blankets, towels, baby care items, hygiene items, and new toys. Community Christmas helps more than 6,000 people in need every year.

This was how the mall in Galway, Ireland was decorated for Christmas.

These chickens have their own Chritsmas Tree. Well why not?

I decided share this image in photostream due to the unusual lighting usage . I was going for a little "soft" light painting look using just strobes - pre digital age and proper color temp. Shot in 1997 on 4X5 Fujichrome RVP ASA 40 for the extra "Pop" that this film produced. Client was using this and other images for printed advertising.

 

Set up: The door w/wreath was securely propped up before setting up the camera and lights. For the main light, an Elinchrom S2000 w/57" Quadra softbox was boomed high above and steeply angled between the camera and subject - for light direction and basic fill. To CR & CL were one each Elinchrom 1000 w/snoot & 500 w/honeycomb, barndoors and diffusion. All side lights were set to skim the wreath. Also added were a few small silver reflectors, attached to light stands, to add additional spot lighting.

 

Exposure: After several test Polaroids, it was time for film. Lights out for 5-seperat exposures for each sheet of film. 1-for the main, 1-each for the side lights - 3 w/a homemade diffusion filter in front of the lens and 1-without the filter. Purpose for the filter (a little petroleum jelly on clear glass) was to soften up parts of the wreath to help it have a little "painted glow". Some sheets had the filter changed for various looks (varied the amount of "jelly" and pops with and without the filter), and picked this one for what I was looking for. All lights had hand triggered sync cords lined up on the mono stand.

 

Camera: Horseman LXC w/Nikor 210mm f/5.6 @f/22.

 

Strobis info: 1-Elinchrom S2000, 2-ea Elinchrom 1000's and 2-ea Elinchrom 500's. Small silver reflectors.

 

Scanner: Epson 850 @ 600dpi

This moc was build in the week leading up to christmas.

The family is celebrating christmas at the cabin of their grandparents. While everyone is playing and sporting outside grandma is taking care of the youngest of the family and grandpa enjoys viewing the grandkids playing in the snow.

The Novaks also sent us A Christmas Story and Hannah Montana wrapping paper. When that ran out, I used old copies of The Nation.

This was a complete accident! i love it!!
