Few Halloween shots from work

Nikolai

We usually have some Halloween costume contest going on at work. This year was no exception. The difference, however, was that I brought some better light and I was using slightly better camera:-)
Anyway, I thought I'd share few shots. These are straight small jpgs from the camera, didn't have time to process RAWs... I hope I will, at least some of them..

Very cool Nik, it looks like you folks have MUCH more fun at work than we do

Cute pics! I think in a few, you have the people standing too close to the background.

I see you have the Botero collapsible background, I see. How do you fold it up?

We used to have even more fun earlier years, nowadays, it's like 30% of the former glory:-)

Thanks for watching!

You're right about distance to the background. Unfortunately, the space was kinda small, so when I was shooting more than two people I HAD to put them close to background, otherwise the backdrop' edges would be on somebody's heads..

As to the folding - this is the biggest problem with them thus far. Each time I had to scratch my head and almost always end up with some sort of mess

Cheers!

But trust me - I'd give up all that once-a-year-Halloween-fun for just one session with one of your #+N models in a heart beat:-)

very cool Nik. Nice series.

That first one transcends the genre. Could be a movie poster. Very nice.

Nikolai

Thanks, Angelo!

Too bad my second light and actuall support rack (I was using a spare light stand instead) arrived only on the next day

Thanks, John!

Sometimes a little camera angle can do a lot :
The guy in the shot is actually a very big one, but he's not THAT big :-)
