Oh Christmas Tree... and self portrait!

I have been getting a bit behind on taking these photos so decided to combine 2 today to try and catch up!! This photo is inspired by an awesome Christmas photo you might have seen floating around on pinterest of a boy holding a bauble bauble. The photo shows his gloved hands holding it and his face reflected in it. It is a really cool photo if you havent seen it! I got Evie to hold one of our bauble baubles but the only one we had, that was reflective, was really small. And she really struggled to hold it still. We were taking photos in front of the Christmas tree. So I just couldnt get the shutter speed right. The photos were either blurry because she was moving or to dark because of the lights. After she went to bed I decided to try and do it as a self portrait. I got out the tripod and got the settings as best I could then got my face in the shot and pushed the button. It took a lot of tries and this was the best I got!! Think this one might be more in the pinterest fail than anything else!!
