On Thursday night I went out with my camera to capture a little bit of Christmas, New York City style. The sights and sounds did not disappoint, and the lighter, mid-week crowds allowed me to move freely.

I deepened the colors a bit on all of them and applied light sharpening, but yes, the sky really was that blue. Thank you!

Such beautiful pics, Wanda.

On the one hand, I love them. On the other hand, they're everything that I miss about America during the holidays.

Keep them coming! They're bittersweet for me, but I love seeing them! :-) Wonderful photography, breathtaking depth of color and light.

*adds to wishlist*

My camera, my first ever, is a Canon powershot A540, and I love her dearly, but she's got really limited abilities when it comes to things like night photography and zooming. Her name is Baby.

I'd like to have a Canon Powershot for day-to-day photography, when I am not carrying my DSLR around.
