Pumpkin Partners
I wasn't sure if the night shot of the Partners Statue with Halloweentime pumpkins would be the shot I wanted or not, because the pumpkins themselves were not lit from the inside as they should be on this particular evening. After reviewing my images, I was pleased to note that the pumpkin lights are best viewed from the back, and in this case, the external lighting worked well on the frontal pose. As always, people in night shots are sometimes difficult to deal with...close examination will reveal a hooded figure sitting on the right side of the circular bench around the statue...I waited and waited for her to move, but she never did, so I shot the long exposure brackets with her in it. Interestingly, there were two sessions of people standing in front of my camera taking shots with the statue while my long exposures were happening...they never showed up in the final images, haha!
Ryan Pastorino recently posted a terrific image of the backside with the pumpkins lit:

I think it is a unique and wonderful contrast in our two visions of the same scene!
