Plan on capturing some Halloween photos of your trick or treatin' critters? We've got some tips for you to get your best shot (see what I did there?) on a dark and possibly rainy night. Grey Halloween KittyAm I amused or just bored?

• Set your ISO on your camera to a higher setting. This will result in a "noisier" photo but it will increase your odds of getting a sharp photo.

• Get close enough so your subject fills the frame.

• If your camera has a night mode select it.

• Start early, to get the last of the daylight. Photographers call this time the golden hour, because the low angle of the light is very forgiving.

• Capture the preparation, especially if your kiddos created the costume themselves.

• Bend down or kneel so you’re at the child’s level.

• Remember this is a time for the kids so don’t go for perfection.

• Take a lot of shots.

• Go for actions shots, kids ringing the door bell, holding out their bucket, checking out their loot etc.

• Using your camera flash doesn’t provide the most flattering lighting, so try to be creative. You can use street lights, porch lights or for a dramatic scene, shine a flashlight on them.

• Group shots, show the kids interacting with each other.

• After, use your phone's fun filters to make pictures look even spookier.

• Have fun!
