Here they are … the three Halloween Amigos. Two of the pumpkins have the names of my daughters carved out, Aily and Sasha. The other pumpkin was carved by my Japanese father-in-law who had a lot of fun this year with the kids celebrating Halloween. It’s kind of new to him, so I thought it was nice to see him enjoy the Halloween season. In Japan, pumpkins can be difficult to find, especially at a good price, but my father-in-law did well this year grabbing a few pumpkins for the kids. These shots were taken with a Nikon 28mm f/1.4 handheld. Enjoy and Happy Halloween!

This week I was having some fun using my SB-800 on Rear Curtain Sync to shoot some glowing Pumpkins. I also used a Nikon D200 and a Nikkor 28mm f/1.4 lens for these shots. I thought they turned out pretty well and it was a lot of fun experimenting with all the various ways to shoot these. I would have like to have a tad bit better background, but I didn’t have much say in how to position these and simply had to shoot in close quarters. I also shot some low light stuff without flash which I’ll post later. Enjoy and Happy Halloween!
