As I mentioned in the last assignment recap, Assignment 10 is about the Autumn of 2010. Whether you live in a place of changing trees or not, autumn has a lot going on. It is harvest time in many parts of the world with festivals to celebrate it, different sports from kids to pros start up, foliage changes, holidays are enjoyed, animals migrate or are in rut, people start new projects and lots of other happenings abound.
What did your camera capture these past few weeks since late September? Post as many or as few photos as you would like. Show us autumn where you live or traveled.
As in the other assignments, do not send me your photos. What I would like you to do is post them on your blog, flickr or other photo sharing site, personal website or any other place on the Internet where you can place a link to it here by making a comment to this blog entry. Then we can visit those sites and enjoy everyone’s Autumn 2010 photographs.
Please, have your photos posted on or before Midnight (your time), Wednesday, November 24, 2010. Don’t have a place to post? Might be a good time to start up a blog or join a photo community like flickr. As I have done for all the Assignments, I’ll put together a recap with my comments.
If you have any questions, leave me a comment and I will be happy to answer them. By the way, I would really appreciate it if you would help spread the word about this assignment so we can get lots of people to participate. Blog it, tweet it, email it and talk about it to your fellow photographers, bloggers, friends, family and pets. Thank you!
Wow, what a colorful image you have chosen as ‘header’ for this assignment Scott. The composition is unconventional. There is something to live up to.
Yellow and green go very well together, I think.

Thanks, Carsten. I have been trying to get a good photo of trees in a forest for a long time now. This is going in the right direction.

Thanks for this assignement Scott, there is a lot to think about indeed. I like the way you captured the colours in this forest. Whatever angle you chose gives a great depth to the woods, it is really beautiful.

Good point, Michaela! The Sun at this time of year is low even during the mid-day (or late morning when this photo was taken) so you do not get harsh shadows.

Excellent photo essay, Nye. I like how you used leaves and your temple’s events to talk about autumn. The harvest photo was a nice lead.

Exactly at the end of autumn. The winter begun here yesterday.
The slideshow plugin is called NextGen. I saw Gerrys fine slideshows http://torchlakeviews.wordpress.com/2010/10/22/full-moon-rising/
and wanted to try them but that tool is not in the self-hosted wordpress toolbox. I think wordpress.com offers that possibility.
If you get lost: Ask Gerry 🙂
