Title: Halloween Faces
We had a great "pre-Halloween" dinner last week and we went out to a really fun place in Oakland called The Fat Lady. It's a nice restaurant/bar in Jack London Square (right next to the parking garage - so easy to get to). Now, normally a restaurant/bar wouldn't be something to really get excited about, but the one thing that The Fat Lady does that is really cool is they LOVE decorating for Halloween. Every year they do something completely different - and they REALLY get into it. This year they did a great "Greek Tales" motif, including cyclops, minotaurs, Greek gods, and all kinds of other fun (and spooky) stuff! The only problem (at least in a photogenic sense) was that the place was really dark (added a lot to the atmosphere tho)! I tried to get a much out of my 1.4 lens as I could, but the shots are still a bit "off". I really didn't want to use the flash because the place was packed and I thought blinding other patrons might not be the best idea. Course, as soon as I saw others taking pictures using flash, I immediately regretted bringing mine. Still, I think the shots came out okay.
Enjoy!
