Now that's what I call Christmas lights!

Taken using my Samsung Galaxy Note smartphone on the way back from the supermarket last Saturday evening.

The house and its display is actually being used to raise money for charity.

Wow! That must require the total output from a wind farm - glad I don't have to pay the bill!

Didn't the phone (and the photographer) do well?

Whilst I agree with the sentiments of collecting for charity obviously, thank goodness this is not next door to me (having said that I won't be home again till the New Year so it would only worry the missus) :-)

Superb display though even if definitey not my cup of tea.

Must have taken weeks to put up.
It does look nice but very pleased it isn't near me.

Those are very good colours and a good and true black background.

Did it come off the phone that way or did you need to do any post processing?

Nice Xmas lights too. Their electricity bill must be nigh on as high as ours - only our leccy is spent on heat and cooking large, tasty joints of meat.

Yes I did massage it in Lightroom - there is quite bad noise in the window frames if you look closely, but I didn't apply any smoothing.

I'd imagine you could nevertheless get a decent print from it though, especially as the background black seems to be so good and clean.

How large is the file? Would it give you a 7x5 print or even a 10x8?
