Halloween Scare | a 7 Image Story
Halloween Scare | a 7 Image Story In a couple of days, it’s Halloween. Are you ready with a new costume? Don’t forget to take the camera along as you go trick or treating. Halloween can be a demanding subject for almost any photographer. Dim light and moving demons make for a challenging night. And how about those costumes? Father time, skeletons, witches, etc. all make their point. Even Jake and Elwood came into the neighborhood. Four Whole Fried Chickens & a Coke; and some Dry White Toast Please! Elwood even had a slice of white bread in his coat pocket. He kept asking people if they had a toaster. Hey, it’s Halloween.
Each image will be posted individually this week with a bit more narrative under category Halloween Scare.

House along Halloween Walk
House along Halloween Walk This house did not have their light on for the trick or treat kids. Still, it made for a nice image.
Relax after Halloween
Relax after Halloween This fellow seemed very happy for Halloween night to finally come to a close. After some fun on the swing, he can relax until next Halloween.
Halloween Spider
Halloween Spider Halloween and spiders seem to go hand in hand. Somehow, these Halloween spiders get really big; huge. Luckily, they seem to leave shortly after Halloween.

Halloween’s Coming Soon
Halloween’s Coming Soon This image was captured handheld. Perhaps, I should take my tripod this year. Of course, with an ISO of 3200, the image had plenty of noise requiring a pass through noise reduction in post processing.
Halloween
Halloween seemed like a good subject to try some of my first film photos in a long time. The Petri Color 35, a 35mm film camera with a 44mm f2.8 lens and FujiColor Pro 400H film makes a very nice image with soft skin colors against a vibrant background. This digital image was produced at the time the film was developed. Since this image was delivered as a JPG, it did not need much post processing.
These older cameras like the Petri Color 35 really make the photographer think about what he is about to do as he prepares to make a photograph. It does have a light meter, but no rangefinder. So, the photographer must use his best guess of the distance while making the depth of field large enough and the shutter speed fast enough to keep the subject sharp.
