Nice one – love the contrast with the more restrained (non-)zombie in the background. I’ve loved your shots this year, Stevie. Thanks for all the support. Have a great Christmas and New Year!
Thanks! Though the use of high ISO was more a practical choice than an aesthetic one as the light conditions were pretty poor that day (overcast and raining a little) and the zombie were walking at an unzombie like pace, so I needed to use a faster than usual shutter speed. I did have my speed light with me that day, but I was conscientious of annoying/startling people with it, so I decided against it in the end. But I did deliberately introduce grain into the images because of the high ISO.
I agree. I was attracted to this zombie because of the intestine hanging from her mouth (which was pretty long and gruesome), but this was the best framing I managed to capture and it’s heavily cropped as I was unable to get much closer.
I’m starting to think you are really one of the Living dead too

Thanks! Seasons greetings to you to and have a Happy New Year!
And again, really like your use of grain combined with the high-iso. Excellent

Interesting, I find the lady in the background tends to pull most attention from me
