Weekly Challenge #75-- Autumn/Harvest
Posted By: fletcherkane, 10-20-2008, 06:46 AM

Alright, thanks again to reeftool for the win in last weeks challenge. Here is the theme for this weeks challenge: Autumn/Harvest. With the fall colors reaching their peak this week (in the northern half of the US anyway...) I thought it would be great to see some of your best harvest photos and or your best photos of fall foliage. This weeks contest runs through Next Monday, October 27. Winners will be posted Tuesday the 28th.

Have fun. As always, here are the contest rules....
_______________________________________
1. Post ONE photo (max 1000x1000).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme. It can be color or B&W, your choice.
3. You can offer as much or as little additional information as you wish, but if you have to explain it, it probably doesn’t communicate what you are trying for.
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and chose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.
6. This challenge runs for 7 days plus a day for the judge to choose the winners.
7. Any Pentax camera will do or a Samsung DSLR.

Nice shot weatherwise!
I know from experience how tough it is to get the right exposure with the ribbony waterfall effect and a sunlit background.

Forest Floor

I spent a fair amount of time looking down during a digital photo club's field trip to a local forest. (I was shooting alone most the time.)

Was using 1600 ISO at a night function and then used samefor some macros yesterday. This one still turned out nice and is my current desktop. As usual always looks better in large size.
