For many people, driving around the neighborhood to enjoy holiday decorations is a much-anticipated December tradition. If you're planning to photograph the lights this year, here are 3 things to consider:

1.   Be mindful of your exposure- If you overexpose, the composition might lose that enchanted nighttime effect and give off more of a midday vibe.

2.   Adjust your aperture- Consider adjusting to a more narrow setting if you're hoping to achieve an individual twinkle effect for every light on a strand.

3.   Regulate your white balance- Again, if you keep your white balance in automatic mode, it could result in a more yellowish daytime appearance. Experiment with different settings until you achieve a level of darkness you're comfortable with.
