Assignment:

 

Your goal is to capture imagery that best describes the season of Fall. Demonstrate what Fall means to YOU.

 

Fall is much more than just fall foliage (although fall foliage is a big part of fall). Fall is the time when many crops are ready for harvest, cold weather first arrives often creating morning fog, the days get shorter, animals begin getting thick shaggy fur for winter, changing leaves, first snow flurries of the year, thanksgiving, halloween and more. Fall is that odd time between winter and summer where, depending on your location, the weather can't seem to make up its mind. Fall also varies greatly depending on where you live so "Fall" can mean many different things for many different people and or places.  

 

Think about composition, camera angels, depth of field, light (time of day) when setting up your shots.  Get creative and show your best "fall" shots!
