And while I'm getting all photographically fancy here, I decided to try another trick while photographing my Father Christmases. My Grandma (with Grandpa's help) made them for me and they are very special to me.
First image is a long exposure and the lighted garland has starburst but the Father Christmases are too dark to see any detail.
Now for the fancy stuff. Not perfect but good enough. Can you guess what I did on this 25 second exposure? Want me to tell you? Oh, ok, you don't have to beg! I shined a flashlight up and down the row of Father Christmases during the exposure to give them some front light. Probably could have done better muting the light a little or even focusing the beam more, but it's still a LOT more detail than in the original image.
