The Heart Of The Season...

Uploaded: December 11, 2006 11:20:17

Description

Is Jesus!

This started out as a long exposure of our Christmas Tree Lights with intentional camera movement. I added an overlay layer & did a gradient flood fill in a red, green & white gradient that I made in PS. Then I created another layer & did the flexify filter in the shape of a heart, added a selection border & then layered in the selections to make the rest of the hearts.
f29.0, ISO 100, 3.5 Second exposure, no flash, 28-70mm lens.
