I know I haven't been very active in the last couple of months. I feel so busy with my now 5 month old and my 3 yo. they keep me on my toes! However tonight I decided to try my hand at taking their pics with a strand of colored Christmas lights around them. In a nutshell, they sucked. And sucked bad. HELP. How do you properly take a low key shot using Christmas lights? And does anyone have examples to share? I even pulled out my flash and tried that but whatever I am doing with that is not working at all. Any tips?
