Vivitar 55mm Cross Screen VI

December 24, 2025

Really cool little filter. If you have the light in focus, you get the effect above. If you have the light source unfocused, they turn out like this. I don't have enough practice with it to utilize it well!

We are finishing off with "Christmas Chicken".

The advent calendar came with a fold out pamphlet explaining each of the characters. There were a lot of surprises! I did not expect a few of them to be the animal the pamphlet claims them to be. My favorites were day 21 "Gingerbread Buddy" and day 7 "Puppy Barkley", who is not a bear. Now the big question is: what the h*ck do I do with them all?

I managed to get 18 days completed this year. I can't promise I'll participate next year. All boxes are clickable, but the "blank" ones only reveal the plushie for the day. Thank you for sticking with me and I hope everyone has a pleasant Christmas and a happy new year!
