Keeping in the holiday vein.

Here are some shots of the pumpkins Amy and I carved prior to Halloween. Poor Charles, Amy’s pumpkin got the rot and had to be tossed before the party. She carved a new one which is occasionally in the background of pictures from the party itself.

Amy fell asleep early, so I set up my tripod and was playing with the settings on my digital camera and the lighting.

One of the problems with the focus on my new camera is that it has a hard time getting a truly sharp shot in low lighting. I was trying to center on the candle, but couldn’t achieve the same quality I could see through the lens itself.

Some of these have the feel of a poster for a Michael Myers flick, which I like.
