It's Halloween once again, and that means that it is time for my annual Halloween Photoshoot.  Enjoy.


By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes...


















































































 
Happy Halloween Everyone, from All in Regalton!

Wooooow! They're beautiful and very atmospheric.
And, out of interest, how did you make Stewart and Elle all ghostly? *hmm*

Aww, thank you. This was great fun to do.

Stuart and Ellie's set was done by locking off the camera, using the crtl button and the number keys, then taking one picture with them in it, and one without. I then pasted the picture with them in, on top of the one without. Desaturated and lightened it, and them erased the background from it. I then duplicated the picture without them, moved it to the top and made it transparent. Instant ghosties.

*Stares, mouth open* *applauds* Maybe you're used to doing that kind of stuff, but to me that is great lengths for scenes and I applaud, respect and am in awe of you for it.
...Blimey.

I admit, it took me a little over an hour to edit each picture, but then I was using large pictures (I used Gadwin to take these). I had an idea as to what I wanted, so I put in the work. :)

Oooh, this are amazing and very Halloweeny! I think Ellie and Stuart are my favorites :) But Celly's is also great! Actually, they all are. Thanks for sharing :D

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. I had a lot of fun with it, and was very pleased with how all the sets came out.

All these are lovely! I'm going to have to say that Stuart and Elle's is the most unique. Eddie and Carmen's have to be the cutest. Andrew and Peter's is the silliest. I love the faces Bethany is pulling.

Thank you. :) I had a lot of fun coming up with all the ideas for the sets, and I love them all. Bethany makes brilliant faces. :D

Gorgeous and simultaneously creepy Di! I really love the mirror trick pictures at the end. There is an awesome sense of story there! Also Elliart is always super adorable!

Thank you! Celly's set was the first set I came up with the idea for, and I am so pleased with the narrative I managed to convey. :D

Elliart are adorable, trufax. :D

Wow! This was awesome! Everyone looks so good. I love the mirror action at the end, but Eddie and Carmen are my favorite I think.

Thanks. :D Like I say, Celly's set was the first I came up with, and I am very pleased with how they came out. I have an outtake from Eddie and Carmen's set as my current desktop wallpaper. I love them so.

THIS WAS AMAZING!

Everyone looked so AWESOME. Obviously Ezra and Bethy were my favorites, but shockingly Elliart takes second place! I just think it was so cute what you did with them, not to mention well done technically. I love that overlay-y ghost-y technique. :D

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEN.

Aww, thank you! I'm glad you liked them, and I'm not at all surprised by your favourites, although I may be a tad at your second favourites. ;) The editing turned out so well for them.

Happy Halloween!

These are so awesome! :D Is that Emmi with Bertie? I love what you did with Elliart, the pics by the fireplace are my faaaaavorite. Donna and Christopher's section was especially creepy, and I cracked up at the Bethany/Ezra faces and Andrewstein's Monster.

Fantastic job as usual and Happy Halloween to you! :D

Thank you! Yes, that's a grown up Emmi. :D It's so much easier to find costumes for adults than teens and children.

Thank you, this wasn't my first idea for Elliart, but I think it worked out far better than my original. I love the ones by the fireplace too. :D I was aiming for creepy with Christopher and Donna, and humour with Andrew and Peter, so yay.

Happy Halloween!

These are amazing! I'm especially fond of the ghost pictures, and Andrew and Peter's set made me lol forever. And of course the Celly pictures at the end was such a cool concept. Happy Halloween!

Thank you! The ghost pictures took a lot of editing, but I am very pleased with how they look. Andrew and Peter's set made me laugh when I thought of it, so yay that other's found it funny too, and I loved the idea of Celly seeing Celestia when she looked in a mirror. :D

Happy Halloween!

Very awesome, Di.

I love them all but I think Stuart and Elle are my favourite (that picture of them in front of the fire <3).

Thank you!

I'm very, very pleased with how Stuart and Ellie's pictures turned out, I'm glad everyone else likes them too.

Yes, all Peter wants is a hug! :D

Lovely, Di! I think Andrew and Peter was my favorite, followed closely by Celly. Quite adorable!

THIS IS SO AMAZING DI.

You just top yourself each yeah :) It's so hard to pick a favourite, but I will have to go with Celly/Celestia as it just gives off that haunting.. shivery feeling. In a good way! You do rock photoshoots m'dear ;)

Thank you!

I must admit, I think that this is my best Halloween shoot to date. I'm so pleased with how I've managed to capture my ideas. The whole mirror set, was the first I came up with, and I'm so, so pleased with how they look.

Thank you again! I'm glad you liked them. :D
