A belated happy Halloween to all...

[Rebel]

...comment on the image all you like but please do not judge my pumpkin carving skills

This is my first still life, I didn't use any special lighting or anything, just my kitchen table and natural light from the left through a window.

Happy Halloween; nice show

Happy Halloween!

Happy halloween to you too!

This is nowhere near as good as your photos Matt, a sooc with a compact from Nepal last week. I loved the house, it looked like a little fairytale house, and then I realised those are pumpkins on the roof!

At least they know the roof is strong, those pumpkins are pretty heavy!

This is a very angry pumpkin Matt I like the PP work, may I ask if the dark BG comes from the PP work ?

Thanks Binnur,

Below is the SOOC image for the second shot, I used a dark grey sheet (its all I had) has a backdrop.

Thanks for explaining Matt. BTW I like your natural kitchen table very much

Very nice indeed, Happy Halloween to you too!
It's catching on over here, I had some young people dressed up for photos last year, but not this time.
Maybe next year I might set up the garage a bit spooky to receive the trick or treaters.
It's the while spider association that puts me off! Me being the biggest arachnophoe going around!

Man oh man I wish I had that kitchen table (not just for its intended use but also for food photography) and your pumpkin-carving skills. I especially like the first photo but feel that far less foreground would be better, as the current amount doesn't add anything to the image.

Thanks Kay! I'm not the biggest fan of Halloween to be honest... I just thought it would be a fun project

But I too am an arachnophobe!

Thanks Mike, the table does have a beautiful texture, very sturdy to!

Good one, Matt! Happy Halloween to you too....

And Rachel, that was a nice find...a bit on the mute side compared to Matt's pp but good nevertheless.
