I'll say it again, I love Halloween! While this doesn't compare to a lot of home haunts out there, we try to make the yard/house fun for the kids and they seem to appreciate the effort. This year I created a new pneumatic powered prop that hid behind a large tombstone until triggered by an infrared motion detector. When triggered, a spot light would light up the tombstone and the prop would leap up from behind it to it's fully extended height of over 6 feet! It took a lot of work :) but the kids seemed to really enjoy it.
It is not easy to capture shots like this - bright spotlights combined with darkness, fog, moving props, etc make it difficult. I just ramped up the iso, opened up my aperture, and shot handheld. In the window is old "bluie" - he was my first animated prop, a flying crank ghost that is blacklit and hovers in the window

Wish we could have seen this in person, sounds like it was worth the effort.
Amazing! I'm speechless! Literally... good job my brother, you definitely have a little bit o' the gorge in you!
Great stuff James!
I want you to teach me how to do that in my yard!
