SuzyView Cream of the Crop  More info | Oct 16, 2006 19:03 | #1 We just got home from our annual pumpkin farm trip. It was another fun year, overcast skies and warm afternoon air. Fun stuff. I hope these don't lose too much clarity. They were tack sharp.    I was trying to get the exposure right because the sun wasn't out, but the orange was overwhelming. I did saturate a little and applied USM. No crop at all in these shots. I hope I'm improving. Last year the shots were all too dark. The 20D and 24-70L are amazing together.

Oct 17, 2006 08:12 | #11 Thanks, everyone! Here are the pumpkins they chose.   The little guy really wanted the pumpkin on the very bottom, but I discouraged this as all the pumpkins got pulled by the stems. The farmer almost fainted watching him, I think.:o The only thing not so great about this farm is that it is right off a main street, so power and phone lines and streets signs are everywhere. Doesn't make for good portraits in most areas. But I think I really like photographing my children. I wish I could have photographed all the children there. Some parents didn't even have anything more than a camera phone. Oh well.  Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!

Oct 17, 2006 10:09 | #13 I like the second one too, but the first one tells the story, "I want THIS one". All these pumpkin photos make me curious. Do you guys actually eat any of these things? That is a fair question. The really orange pumpkins are definitely edible. So, I got 3 pumpkins yesterday, 2 for boys, 1 for dinner. I take the top off as if to do a jack-o-lantern. Take the guts out, saving the seeds for roasting. Then I put the pumpkin in a pan lined with aluminum foil and add a mixture of cooked rice (or noodles) 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup, 1 pound browned ground beef, a small bag of vegetables (usually peas and carrots), 1-2 cups water, salt and pepper, 1 small onion minced and sauteed. Mix this whole thing up and put in the pumpkin, cover top loosely with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. I think this is the recipe for dinner in a pumpkin. If anyone has any additions or interesting ideas, please add. Suzie - Still Speaking Canonese!
