Aperture: f/8
Exposure: 1 sec.

2007 Xmas tree at Forum Algarve, a local mall. It was raining and I was afraid some security officer see me. Last year they were really angry with me when they caught me... I didn't used a tripod, only my knee. The camera was set to manual mode in order to have a better control of the exposure (I've used 2 seconds or close to that), and give the water that effect.
