105/365 - Jim - Shadow

( f/11 105mm 1/125 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

Theme is hand print. For this photo I stood behind my Translum background with a flash behind me. I originally wanted to just get my hand in the shot, but found this one interesting. It could be a scary movie poster as creepy as it looks. You could probably really scare someone by printing this out and taping it to a window. I also did some shadow puppets, so maybe I'll make that a theme someday.

021/365 - Matt - Spooky Tree

( f/9.0 55mm 1/320 sec ISO 200 Nikon D40 )

This is a tree I took on Saturday at Frick Park. I took some shots of some scary halloween things around my house but nothing came out cool. I added an effect to this tree to make it look even more dead than it is. I think it's spooky.

021/365 - Jim - Ghostly Tree

( f/8 38mm 30 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

Theme is scary. I have looked at this tree out in my front yard for a while and thought it looked a little spooky at times. When I went out to take this photo, something was moving around because I could hear leaves rustling. Not knowing what it was, I hurried up and took a picture. This face appeared around the tree. OK, not really. I put a mask on and ran over with the 5 second timer on and positioned myself. My camera was set to a slow flash which means it flashes and then uses the ambient light for the rest of the exposure. In this case it was 30 seconds. After the flash went off, I walked by and behind the camera until this image appeared. It was literally 2 shots to get this. The first was just a test. Mwahh ha haaa...
