It's always nice to see people really in the spirit of Halloween. Amy Winehouse must be a lot harder to do, now that her style is all wacked and cracked out.

Great photos....and I'm glad you had a chance to relax and have a good time. I went to a Halloween party at my usual Friday hang out spot but I did not dress up. I had been (and unfortunately still am) sick all week and couldn't bring myself to use my brain to come up with something genius. I still enjoyed myself though....the costumes were great! Four full grown Teletubbies and Amy Winehouse were my favorites of the night. The things people come up with..... I loved the costumes!

Felt like I was back in university again. <strong>@BrianR</strong> — Thanks. It's always nice when someone can relate, whether it's me or a reader. @Trolley — Yeah it was an awesome time, and a very much needed party. Felt like I was back in university again.

In order to do so, I had to use a high ISO, which introduced a lot of noise. Normally I try to adjust for noise, but after watching the new Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel and seeing the way noise was used in that movie, I was inspired to keep it, and added a lot of contrast to give the photos a different (but consistent) feel than my other ones. I use techniques like this sparingly, but it works for themes like Halloween. Glad you picked up on it.

You usually shoot things so crisply and in high light; I like this; it's different. I also envy the hell out of whoever owns that house. Ah, space......
