On Capturing The Last Remnants Of Christmas

I took this photo using my little KODAK PIXPRO FZ55. At night, with Christmas lights blazing.

The camera suggested I use a tripod before taking the photo and of course I was like, "Oh, no. I don't need a tripod." Because, I didn't. The point of capturing lights at night is the unhinged photo that inevitably ends up on the screen or on film. 

Using the KODAK PIXPRO FZ55 in (essentially) bulb mode. 

This is the first digital point-and-shoot camera I've purchased since about 2004. So, it's pretty incredible to see how much this little camera can do. Using my iPhone to shoot digital photos was getting boring and it's much more conspicuous because everyone shoots using their phone. All I need is a flip phone again and I'll be all set!
