Halloween Fun

While Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) is the traditional holiday this time of the year in Mexico, Halloween is making significant inroads with the younger generation. They wear costumes, they get candy, and they are enthralled with ghosts, witches, goblins, and, of course, skeletons - which are also huge for Dia de los Muertos. The dancing skeleton with his glowing red eyes had this group of market kids spellbound. They would push the button to start him up and then watch intently as he did his thing over and over. The blue tarp overhead cause quite a color cast, but adjusting the temperature to 17,000 and the tint to +63 negated that extreme blue cast. Thank goodness I shoot in RAW and can make such radical adjustments without ill effect.
