Few Halloween Decorations for CC

Geaux · Oct 12, 2011

Took advantage of my off day this past Monday and did a little driving around the city, here's what I got.

1.

2.

3. Black bars are actually wrought iron bars that I had to shoot through to get the shot. I could have cloned them out, but they didn't bother me horribly.

4. Not Halloween, but I enjoy this shot. I know it goes against a lot of "rules", but I dig it.

I understand if the editing style is not for you, but if you could give me any other thoughts on focus composition, etc, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for looking, still learning

dude.. go to the cemetery. You are in NO! A lot of cool looking grave above ground. Halloween decoration doesn't really appeal me.

I love Halloween. It's my favorite holiday, but then again it's also my wedding anniversary.

I think that the DOF is a little narrow on the second photo. I love the subject, but feel that more of the foreground fence should have been in focus as well.

I was going to, but I've done the Cemeteries here so many times, I was going for something I had never shot before.

1 is a bit flat to me. I'd want to see it a bit more saturated. Not overly so, just a bit. And if that Resurrection Fern would've had some rain recently, it have popped even more.

#2 needs to highlight the cobwebs more

as someone mentioned with the DOF.

3 is a bit too centered but I LOVE that sign!! hehe. I think I'd have gone with portrait vs landscape, and maybe crop him to where the bars frame him vs letting them be a distraction?
