Annual Pumpkin Carving Contest!

[BAD SS]

I don't really shoot people often... Hardly ever. But whenever the family gets together the camera seems to come out.

Let me know what you think. Harsh C&C please. These are pretty much straight from the camera.

be careful with wide angle on people. tends to elongate people like the guys arms in 2 and make people seem a bit bigger like the womans' hands in the 5th photo. did you use your 220ex for this?

In these pics - I think the wide angle works well, gives it a comical feel - carving pumpkins is comic - i like these.

Yes, I used the 220EX.

Thanks.

I started out using my 50mm, but I didn't like the way the pictures were coming out. That's why I switched to the wide angle, and I agree with you.
