I learned you can do a lot more with wood carving tools than you can with the set of pumpkin carving tools you get at the grocery store:
Also, that when you go outside to take a picture of your pumpkin, you should remember to change the white balance. I tried to add a bit of yellow to counteract all the blue, but it's still obvious. Seattle is gray not blue.
@stephomy very cool pumpkin and good tip with the wood carving tools! I have been having a bugger of a time trying to carve our pumpkins this year. The pumpkin tools just aren't cutting it... literally!
I did the same thing last year, and I knew I needed a bigger pumpkin this year! I learned that finding the right WB when using a white and a red light can be pretty tricky...
