I travelled to Toulouse, France beginning of December to visit a friend. There was a Christmas market in the main square and the rest of the city was decorated beautifully.

We explored in the evening when everything was lit up and I played around with the camera settings to get these photos. The top two are achieved by setting a long exposure time and zooming the lens in whilst taking the picture. The bottom one is done by just setting a long exposure time.

It is a lot of fun to mess around with and it creates some awesome photos!
