Our neighbour across the street has erected quite a display. He's got a lot of stuff over there and some of it is big stuff, and it is in a little space that is also not very well lighted. Those conditions don't make for easy photography, but one must do one's best to rise to the occasion. These characters probably all have names, but I don't what they are, and I don't care much.
A tall guy and his cute, little puppy.
This scarecrow guy is even taller than the previous fellow. Erecting him must have been quite a feat. I have two shots. The second reveals how difficult it is in the dark when objects don't have their own lighting. I had to use my photoshop skills to get the Grim Reaper at the bottom left to be visible in the photo.
A genuine Hell's Angel maybe.
This final bloke has no self-lighting, and I couldn't manage a decent photo in the dark. So, I took a daytime photo and tried to make it look like a night scene. I added lighting bolts in the process, but I think he is feeling a little
down in the mouth.
I did shoot a few others, but I think these will suffice for this year.
Happy Halloween

I like your black backgrounds here -- they really make it stand out! Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween. It is great to see the decorations of all kinds of scary stuff...but really what a silly waste of money (she's the Halloween grinch this year!) Glad you had some photographing challenges!
ReplyDeleteVery good job, AC. Spooky and fun at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get more treats than tricks today.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Down in the mouth😄
ReplyDeleteThe people who decorate and celebrate this holiday awe me. I have three pumpkins on which I will draw faces, and that is it. Out here we only get the neighbour's kids by appointment and will, of course, shut down at 8:00pm.
ReplyDeleteSome people really go to town with Hallowe'en decorations. A few round here do, but mostly it's just pumpkins, if anything at all.
ReplyDeleteI bet your neighbor is the one and only decorator in your neighborhood. He does it for everyone.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing all the spooky decor!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween! 🎃💀👻

It is hard to take these shots at night so I am impressed by your photoshop work. Enjoy the evening.
ReplyDeleteNighttime shots are very tricky for me, even with a decent iPhone camera. VERY spooky!
ReplyDeleteHallowe'en is getting spookier (and more expensive) every year.
ReplyDeleteOhhh I love these displays. Great shots of them. Have a happy Halloween.
ReplyDeleteGreat displays, dear friend! Happy Halloween to you!
ReplyDeleteQuite a display!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween, AC. Our festivities are tomorrow because of inclement weather.
ReplyDeleteThese structures and photos are impressive.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures. They look great. Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeletenice one. happy halloween to you and your wife .
ReplyDeleteIt seems a lot of folks, like your neighbors are going BIG with Halloween decos I have seen countless very tall skeletons on our travels about the area.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated Halloween, that is a pretty nice set up your neighbor has there! Some neighbors down the street have four skeletons and they change the "theme" every week. The first week they were playing sports, the next weightlifting, and the week after, having a spa day. It was hilarious and fun and we told them how much their efforts brightened our days!
ReplyDeletePeople are so creative!
