I've been extremely busy with travel and work lately, and while I have been shooting a lot I have been posting very little (and had 545 PDML messages in my mailbox Saturday morning!).
Friday I got home in time to catch the trick-or-treaters. We close our block to traffic, children (and some adults) dress up, and besides trick-or-treating we serve hot dogs and cider to anyone who shows up. There are usually 250-300 kids visiting our block. The pix are here: http://photo.net/photodb/folder?folder_id=873351 All taken with the K10D, FA 24-90, and Sigma EF500 DG Super flash. A technical note: I and others have had some exposure consistency problems with that flash. With the 24-90 it works beautifully, and that led me to do some experiments with the 16-45. The key seems to be remembering to put down the diffuser screen at focal lengths shorter than 20mm--it doesn't just prevent vignetting, it also seems to change the flash metering in some way.
