On Saturday, October 23, 2010, the Denver Zombie Crawl attracted more than 7,300 people and broke its own 2009 record for attendance, solidifying Denver once more as the most zombified city in the U.S.

Photos were taken on a Canon 30D, 135mm at f/2.0, ISO-100. Post processing for the photo above went beyond the usual saturation and white balance correction, including fairly major hue changes, de-saturation and texture adjustments. For the photo below, slight saturation and white balance adjustments only.

These were all taken on the Canon 30d with the 135mm at f/2.0 or f/2.8, the 50mm at f/1.4 or f/2.0, and one or two might have been with a 20mm at f/2.8. Photoshop work included white balance and saturation, and not much else.
