Halloween Bat O'Lanterns!
Continuing on from yesterday's post, I once made halloween pumpkins with bat wings and took them to a cemetery for a shoot. Mainly to practice shooting things other than landscapes.
Its pretty easy and fun to do and I probably would have taken more pictures if it hadn't started raining!
All you need to do is carve a face into a pumpkin, cut some wings out of cardboard and paint them black. Then cut slits in the sides of the pumpkins to slide the wings in. One thing I did to make the wings survive longer than a day was to wrap the ends that slide into the pumpkin in electrical tape. This protects the wings from the moisture that comes from the pumpkin. Otherwise your wings turn to mush very quickly.
Thanks for Looking.
