Nativity 1

I have had requests for images of Christmas, and since we are approaching Christmas Day, I plan to share photos of nativity scenes that I photographed in 2006. Each year the Basilica Museum in St. John's has a display of Nativity Scenes from around the world and I have photographed it three times. The scenes are made from a variety of materials and are from different countries around the world. Of course the artists have added their own interpretations of the Christmas Story which makes the display very interesting.

When I photographed these nativity scenes I used a tripod because of the low lighting in the large room. I also avoided using my flash unless it was absolutely necessary to capture the shot I wanted.
