![]() Using a digital camera? All cameras have a Program mode, which is a good place to start. Though it’s subtle, here you can see the difference of shooting without the reflector (top), and shooting with the reflector (bottom). If your camera is positioned close enough to your pumpkins, you should be able to hold the reflector and trip the shutter without too much difficulty. But it can make a big difference in your final shot. Light created by a white reflector is very subtle so you may not be able to see what it’s doing at first. ![]() Holding a piece of white cardboard next to the scene reflects light into the shadows. But if you find that the unlit side is too dark, find a piece of white paper or cardboard, or a white sheet, and hold it up next to the dark side of the pumpkin to reflect light onto the pumpkin’s shadow side. That should help emphasize the drama of the scene. ![]() With a single light shining from one side, your pumpkin will be lighter on one side than the other. This will turn into point light sources in your final image (rather than an orange glow) and might throw off your camera’s metering-throwing the rest of your image into darkness. Consider shooting from below to create a big, menacing pumpkin, or getting up close to crop out part of the pumpkin.Īs you line up your shot, be sure that, when you look through the camera, you don’t see any of the candle flames through the pumpkin holes. That doesn’t necessarily mean you need to be at the same height as your pumpkins.
