It was taken with an Olympus C-60, Manual Mode, f2.8 at 1/15th, ISO 200. Keeping in mind the dull results when I tried to photograph the glow of the sycamores on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, I exposed to retain some detail in the highlights and made minor adjustments in Photoshop to bring up the lights in the Opera House and correct perspective: http://gallery.leica-users.org/PICKS/PC110015_adj. Comments welcome, as always. It would be interesting to see what Christmas looks like in your part of the world. My home town has nothing quite so grand as Lincoln Center does, but I'll shoot some pictures of our lights and post them in a few days -- Regards, Dick Boston MA
