Sometimes I Go Too Far

Halloween weekend. This year Halloween falls on Sunday, the worst night to do anything with kids. For that reason, it started on Friday afternoon. Downtown stores handed out candy in a distribution event that would rival the Haiti Earthquake Relief Effort. We parked on the third level of a parking garage because parking downtown is an exercise in jackassery.

As we were headed tot he candyfest, I had the kids line up for a picture next to a railing. I noticed I was taking the picture facing the sun. That's good because it reduces squinting, but bad because it destroys the background. The kids were anxious to get started so I decided to get a couple shots and fix it later. When we returned to the car, I took a couple shots of the view with the sun at my back. When I got home and looked at the pictures, I found one I liked except the background washed out and Jon didn't look very scary. I made Jon look a little more sinister and used the background from the other side of the garage. I like the way the new picture turned out. The new background really made the costumes pop.

I decided to fool around with other backgrounds- This is the result-
