Christmas Eve Captures – ToadMama.com

We got a bit of snow in Warrenton on Christmas Eve. It happened during the day, but I was delighted. Because I love snow. And seeing it on Christmas Eve made me happy.

You gotta take happiness however you can get it, right?

Of course I had to go for a walk and take some pictures.

I had the dogs with me as I usually do when strolling through town.

I’ve been taking lots of pics during my nightly strolls lately. The town just looks so pretty at night.

Here are a few examples.

Camera phone pics are okay. But on Christmas Eve I decided to venture out without the dogs and with my SLR camera to capture some “real” images.

I used the tripod, too, which is critical for clear night shots that don’t use a flash.

Here are my favorites.

courthouse_at_night — Fauquier County Courthouse in Warrenton

courthouse_at_night_2 — Fauquier County Courthouse in Warrenton

Fauquier County Offices at Warren Green Hotel near Town Hall.

courthouse_at_night_3 — Fauquier County Courthouse in Warrenton

red_truck_bakery_at_night — Red Truck Bakery in Warrenton

I am pleased with the results.

Yes, three are of the courthouse, but I just love the way that looks all lit up.

What do you think? Do you have a favorite?

Great pics. Well worth toting the camera and tripod around.

Thanks for sharing.

I usually go looking for night shots too, and I usually carry a small tripod. Nice night shots. I use the remote to fire the shutter to minimize camera shake, or you could use the timer
