S.B. Wharf Xmas tree 2015

Photographing Santa Barbara Wharf Xmas tree is my yearly tradition. I was up by 6am to get down to the wharf and catch the beautiful early morning light. I wanted to get there earlier to catch some of the sunrise but it was so cold..and dark earlier, couldn't get going.  Maybe another day catch the sunrise. It's been in the low 40's overnight and low 60's daytime here this week. I prefer our usual 70's in December here.  I have no problem getting in the Xmas spirit with warm weather lol.

 Here's some shots I came up with.  I like the color but I think I like the simple B&W shots enhanced with Photomatics and Nik software better.
