Challenge: The Great Pumpkin Carving Challenge (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Nikon D70
Lens: Nikon AF Fisheye-Nikkor 10.5mm f/2.8G IF-ED DX
Location: San Francisco, California
Date: Oct 28, 2005
Aperture: f11
ISO: 200
Shutter: 13/1
Date Uploaded: Oct 31, 2005

My girlfriend and I carved these two pumpkins on the Friday night before Halloween. I carved the happy vampire pumpkin and she did the happy snaggle tooth guy. We then lit them up with two tea candles each and set them on our black glass kitchen table. I used my fisheye 10.5mm len and set the camera on the table very close to the pumpkins, set off a remote shutter, and this is what I got. I carved the skin really close on my pumpkin so that the whole thing would really glow.

This just makes me smile along!
(Wish there were less background...the pumpkins can stand nicely on their own with those pretty reflections.)

I like how you lit the pumpkins and the reflection adds to the photo.

Be a little stronger of an image had teh pumpkins had the same sort of colour cast to them, I presume this is due to one being more hollowed out than the other, good job and nice reflections.
