Our Friends' Light Fixtures
(I know these photos might seem a little washed out...I am learning that it is very tough to take good pictures of lights that are ON! Just click the picture to enlarge it.)
Our friends, Dave and Carol, have come to an important milestone in their 9 (10?) year odyssey to restore their bungalow. They are almost finished with the living and dining rooms...whoo hoo!
They actually FOUND THESE ORIGINAL LIGHTS in the house! That is so amazing to me. These are gorgeous lights. They're using a handful of sconces and two overhead lights in their living room.
The whole room looks fan-TAS-tic, but we promised to post no photos until they had it EXACTLY how they want it to look. It looks pretty amazing to us already.
Also amazing is the fact that, during this decade of restoration, they managed to find time to produce three absolutely adorable daughters.
Now THAT is talent.
(I need to learn how to take better photographs with indoor, evening light. My talents are sorely lacking.)

One trick for photographing lights that I've learned working here at the ol' newspaper is to do it at that magic dusk hour, where there is still enough light to light the lighted object you are trying to photograph and still see the light inside said lighted object, but not so bright that the photo gets blown out. (Clear, eh?) This is also the trick to photographing outdoorsy things, like your holiday light display, a tree lighting event, your jack-o-lanterns on the front porch or the lighthouse with its signal light (for those of ye in New England and other sea-farin' places).

Thanks K! I'm going to try that! (I can't believe I haven't thought of that before.)
Now, if I just had a good technique for those insomniac 2am photo sessions...
