An old photo of Diego from a few years back when he was dressed up as Santa. He’s used to wearing coats and I think he looks adorable in this one!

Can you imagine how hot Santa would be in his great big coat on a warm April day? Luckily this was back in January, but it was still quite warm. Warm enough that I was standing in the shade!

Santa came to Blarney on Sunday night for the switching on of the Christmas lights in the village and I was there to take a few photos. As also seen on the Muskerry News page.
Some dragging of the shutter may be involved. I love that effect!
* Dragging the shutter means to use a long shutter speed and a flash. The long exposure means you get more light from the dark background and lights. The flash illuminates the foreground. I usually set the exposure to -1 or -2 at f/8 so the exposure wasn’t too long.

Tonight Santa visits as the Christian world celebrates the birth of Jesus over 2000 years ago.
Santa gets everywhere these days, especially wherever there’s a buck to be made!
