Unsatisfied with Monday's shoot I set out again to try and get my Halloween shot.

Armed with the knowledge that having the light behind him seemed to do pretty much nothing, I set the red gelled Sunpak off to camera left to blast an eerie red onto the scene.

I shot during dusk this time, instead of full blown night, so I could capture that blue ambient light, but still found myself painting his body and a couple trees with my flashlight to recapture a little bit of detail. I also lowered the angle of the camera to try and make "Mr. O' Lantern" a little more imposing in the scene.

Apparently, no matter how red you gel the strobe inside a pumpkin, once the light starts bouncing around inside there, it comes out yellow. But, it does darken the pumpkin itself.

Tune in tomorrow for the final version!
