As usual my neighbors in Ridgeview Ranch go all-out for Halloween. It's like living the Griswald Family Christmas at Halloween. That said, they do a great job and the neighborhood children love to come on our little cul-de-sac.
I recently purchased a 35mm low-light prime lens for my Nikon and thought a little night shooting would be a good test. All three photos were shot handheld without flash at F1.8. Click on the images for higher resolution versions. 
If you like Halloween, you should see what they do for Christmas!

WOW, some pretty dramatic shots....Appears that the children will be in for a real treat.
Now that is what I call going all out on Halloween. Our neighborhood does not come close.
What a fun "toy" to buy,Tom. I'm sure it will come in handy. More night shots, please!!!
Loreena,
It's a decent macro lens as well. It's not wide enough for real estate work. I'll stick to my 10mm for interior photos.

Tom,
Nice shots and that lens ought to prove handy for some possible shots of listings. As for your neighbors everyone has their favorite holidays and reasons. They obviously like Halloween.
Larry,
You should see Christmas!
Tom
Love it!
