Christmas Lights

Porcelain Christmas Tree “Lights’”

The Cokin “Speed” filter always intrigued me, and since I can’t put a Lensbaby on my P5100. I thought I’d give it a try. In the P size filter holder, it attaches easily to the P5100 using the UR-E20 and UR-E7 adapters, and a 46-52mm step-up ring. I’ll probably order a 46mm Cokin adapter ring in the future.

I really like the sense of movement it imparts to stationary images, hence the “speed” moniker, and in this instance, it becomes a variant of “light painting”.
