Ah, Eureka Springs, our beloved open-aired asylum where every day feels like Halloween, but come October 31st, it almost seems…normal. Well, as normal as a town of whimsy and wonder can be! This year, I decided to dive into the festivities with a fantastical sidekick Suraya and my brainchild – Halumin, the maverick of event photography lighting.
As the dusk settled, White Street came alive with creatures of the night, all set for the town’s famed White Street Trick or Treating event. This wasn’t just a quest for candies; it was the perfect stage for a Halloween photoshoot adventure. With Halumin in tow, I waltzed into the whimsical night, among thousands of Trick or Treaters.
Now, Halumin isn’t just any light modifier. It’s a tale-spinner, an enchanter that shatters the shackles of conventional lighting tools. With a little tinkering, I transformed my Halumin into a ghastly ghoul. I crafted a monstrous grin, velcroed it to its face, and adorned it with a pair of glowing red eyes. Oh, and let’s not forget, a 360 camera perched on one of its accessory legs, ready to capture the magic from every angle.Â
As the night descended into a cauldron of eerie ecstasy, I sauntered through the hallowed streets, Halumin by my side, ready to engulf the trick or treaters into its monstrous maw. The idea was simple yet sinister – Halumin would be the monster, and the Halloween revelers, the souls caught in its eerie embrace. Each snapshot, a narrative of the nocturnal, where ghouls grinned and witches winked, all bathed in the haunting hue of Halumin’s embrace.
I must confess, the journey veered off the sinister script a tad. The monstrous maw turned into an abstract arcade, yet amidst the chaos, the true spirit of Halloween shone through. The faces of the night, lit in the ghostly glow, echoed the eerie elegance of Eureka’s essence. The POV camera was a portal into the paranormal, capturing the charm and the chills as they unfolded under the pale moonlight.
Halumin’s innovative Open Cylindrical design was not just lighting the eerie night; it was narrating tales of the mystical and the macabre. The whimsical town of Eureka Springs, with its penchant for the paranormal, found a companion in Halumin, and together they danced in the dark, weaving narratives of the nocturnal.
As the night drew a curtain on the ghostly gala, the Halloween photoshoot was a whimsical whisper in the winds of White Street. The town may have returned to its daily dose of delightful delirium, but the tales of that night, lit by the ghostly glow of Halumin, lingered on, awaiting the next eve of eerie when they could once again roam the realms of reality and reverie, lighting the lore of the night.
So, here’s to Eureka Springs, where every day is a journey into the whimsical, but on Halloween, oh on Halloween, it’s a dive into the delightful normalcy with a touch of eerie elegance, all lit by the magical luminescence of Halumin.
