[Ham-Computers] Re Photographing A Lit Christmas Tree

[Duane B. Fischer, W8DBF]

Thank you sir. Now I have to call in the 'sighted' troops to check out the blind
dude's photographic efforts! This particular White Pine was exceptionally
beautiful. The most full and best shaped one I have ever had. It does not have
the traditional 'good' side out!	
	
I kept waiting for somebody to take a photo of it for me, and waiting, and
waiting and ...		
	
Seemed like everyone was sick, getting sick or thought they might be. Thankfully
they did not share their blight with me. No photos either. 
	
Well because it was fresh cut and put immediately into water, it is still
holding the needles and looking great, five weeks later! But not too much
longer. So before it was too late, I decided to point, wait for the tone and
fire. hey, if the photo is at a bit of an angle, I will tell them the house was
tilted due to a solar flare! I have them convinced I can tell a Bufferin by the
letter "B" cut into the top side of the tablet by reading it with my tongue, so
they might buy my story. Whatever I got, it has to be better than a shot of the
naked tree with a foot deep pile of brown needles below it!

Hi Duane B. Fischer:

   Both ways are correct, take two pictures, the best will reveal it's self.
