Taking advantage of the recent snows...

A very inviting image.

Thanks for the comments... I had been out trying to shoot the lights around the neighbourhood and came home with cold hands and an almost dead battery. Have always loved walking up to our door and thought it looked lovely with the fresh snow. So planted the tripod in the white pines at the front (where the piled snow filled my boots) and popped off two series of three exposures, each about 1.5 stop spread before the battery died. Looked over the shots taken and was about to trash the lot when I thought I'd run each series through Photomatrix. See lots of room for improvment that I'll try when we get our next snow. Fun stuff.

Nice Shot Kula, I didn't take the time/have opportunity to get out for Christmas Lights this year, thanks for sharing

I like this shot, looks very Christmasy and makes you want to walk inside to get a hot cup of cocoa.

Golden light spilling out the doorway onto the walk and the Adirondack chair makes this one special.

Don't you love it when you find a gem in images that didn't look so great at first glance?
