Day 278: Christmas Day

It's Christmas Day - Merry Christmas! Today was dominated by present opening, with Kara doing all the hard work :-) Mostly I was using the external flash to get "nice" photos, but when the rain stopped and the sun made an appearance, I couldn't resist a natural light picture. At the time Kara was engrossed in trying out the Play-Doh set she had just unwrapped, with Brenda sitting behind her. Even though this is heavily underexposed, I like this shot for the lighting, which highlights just enough to see what's going on without needing to illuminate every part of the frame, and the human elements of the connection between mother and daughter and the expression on Kara's face. She loved the Play-Doh.
