Halloween Photos

Mike J

Been away from the forum for way too long... I notice lots of new names and many of the old stand-by. Here are a several from our church's Halloween party. All of been moderately to heavily post-processed and I'm curious as to reactions.

#1


#2


#3


#4



Thanks for looking and any comments/critiques would be appreciated.

In my eyes, #2 and #3 are the winners here. Very nice work.

I think you did Heath Ledger proud in the processing on #1. I'm impressed how much sharpness there is with f/2.8 in the image.

#2 is total Eddie Munster! Love it. A bit soft, but wonderful.

#3. Love the light. Looks like you did some editing and missed a spot above her head, but that's an easy fix.

#4 is sweet. Wish the chairs were more defocused, but she is so angelic (yeah I know she's a fairy). Usually don't like the desat stuff so much, but it feels like it works really well here.

Thanks for the comments. I appreciate it. These were the 4 of the many that I took where I tried to get the processing to match the mood of the costume.

Yup - the processing was severe and did miss that one spot on #2. I'll get that cleaned up.

#1 is a close family friend. We're encouraging him to use this on his Christmas card this year.
#4 - I have the same wish. I'm wondering what this would like like if I tried one of the newer Bokeh plug-ins.

Thanks Kris. We have #2 in our class on Sunday so we have lots of fun together. He has quite the personality.

Very nice! Even though the chairs are a bit too visible for my liking, I really dig #4
