Merry Christmas! Christmas has arrived to Altos de Chavón and this year the Christmas decorations are even more spectacular than ever!
Although we hope you will all be joining us for the Bazaar Navideño and the Nutcracker ballet, Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony, which will be taking place on Friday and Saturday the 16th and 17th of December– just in case you can’t be with us, here we bring you a preview of the Christmas lights in Altos de Chavón:
The Nativity Scene in Altos de Chavón
So evidently this photo was taken during daylight hours, but with the view of the river behind the nativity scene, this photo is just so beautiful I couldn’t resist including it!
Altos de Chavón, glittering with festive lights!
This year, the main plaza of Altos de Chavón is adorned with even more lights than ever before!
The Altos de Chavón Christmas tree!
Although the official “Tree Lighting Ceremony” will take place Friday the 16th of December, after the Nutcracker Ballet in the Altos de Chavón amphitheater – we were able to sneak a quick preview photo while the lights were on for testing! It’s it gorgeous!
HOW TO TAKE GOOD PHOTOS OF CHRISTMAS LIGHTS AND DECORATIONS! Taking good photos in the dark, is not easy and taking photo of christmas lights is even harder – this morning (after I’d taken the above photos), I came across a great article with some tips for photography at this time of year. The following are tips for photographing holiday lights:
Turn off your flash unless you have a very good reason to use it.
Use a fast ISO – we suggest ISO 800.
Avoid camera shake.
Use a tripod…or, at least, brace the camera. Trust your camera’s built-in meter.
We look forward to seeing you all in Altos de Chavón for all the exciting events and activities! For those of you who are not sure what is going on, here’s a quick summary:
