Share your creative and spooky Jack-O-Lanterns by taking memorable and fun photos. Here are a few tips on how to take photos of your Jack-O-Lantern masterpiece:
- Use a tripod, or place your camera on something that’s sturdy, like a table.
- Place your pumpkin in front of a plain background or outside with a cool backdrop of plants or vines. Avoid putting it in front of a congested area as the design won’t capture as well.
- Light your pumpkin with at least 2-3 candles inside. The more candles you use, the more the pumpkin will glow.
- Turn off your flash to maintain the spooky glow of your pumpkin and keep your photo from getting washed out.
- Use a manual setting or the TV mode to slow down the shutter speed if you are using an SLR camera. Try a shutter speed of 0.8-2.5 seconds.
