2. The Pumpkin - Get a picture at the pumpkin patch or carving the jack o’ lantern.

4. Set the Scene - From cotton spider webs to blow-up ghosts, wire cats to smoking caldrons, capture a shot of the night’s décor.
5. The Night Sky - Set the mood with an image of the full moon, ominous clouds or shining stars.
6. Trick-or-Treating - Whether you are on passing-out-treats duty, or going door-to-door, get a photo of costumed sweet-seekers with their bags of loot.
7. Parties/Festivities - Take a group shot with fellow parade participants or party-goers doing the monster mash.
8. The Action - Bobbing for apples, navigating a corn maze or hitching a hayride make for great action shots.
9. Sugar High - Take a shot of the kids eating their treats or combing through their candy.
10. Ending the Night of Fright - Passed out from a sugar overload or partying on — be sure and get a photo of how the evening ends.
