'Tis the season of holiday decorations. The air is getting cooler, the sun is setting earlier, and the holiday lights are slowly being put up. It sure seems like it happens earlier and earlier every year, and this year the lights are out in full force even before Thanksgiving is done here in the States, which is great for photographers because it means we have more chances to get those sparkly, pretty captures. Here are just a few ideas on how to best capture the twinkling magic of the season.

Boy do we have some great news for you guys! As you might have noticed, we're currently accepting submissions for a December, but we never said what would happen in November. The good news is that the two venues we're using in Mountain View have agreed to let us keep showing photos in their spaces. The bad news (well it's not really bad) is that the deadline for the December show is fast approaching on November 7th, 2008, and you have less than a week to submit!
