November 1st Means Fire Sales on Fog Machines

It's that time of year again -- Halloween is almost in the books and anyone who sells those cheapo novelty fog machines will be pretty much giving them away tomorrow morning.

They only start out at about $30, were in the low $20's by today and soon will be about ten bucks. The fog juice will be cheap, too.

They don't work too great (they tend to gum up eventually) but at $10, if they smoke up good for even one shoot it is pretty hard to lose on that deal.

Pictured above is one of about 20 decorations at the home of our next-door neighbors, Mark and Prissy. Our block really gets into Halloween. The kids come from far and wide to check out the creepiness and gorge themselves on candy.

Light for this was one SB-800 at her feet, and dragged the shutter to get the backlit fog (courtesy the street lamp). I zoomed during the ~1/4 second exposure for the streaks. Click the pic for biggers.
