Chinese New Year Dragon
50mm 1/250 f8 ISO 12,800

The photo blog’s theme of today is culture. My background is Chinese so I decided to take a picture of Chinese New Year Dragon decorations that hang from the ceiling. Typically, decorations likes this come in red or gold because they are customary colors. My mom hanged these decorations up during the beginning of the new year and hasn’t taken them down since. I chose to lose a high ISO because the room was very dark. I tried using the 55mm lense but it was a little blurry from the depth of field it gave so I went with the 50mm lense.
