"Seasonal" Each part of the world is having different seasons, so let's see some photos that represent your local area. They can be weather related or maybe something that happens at this time each year in your area ie "Tulip Festival," "Freeze Dip in the river," Etc.
HOW you create it is up to you. The idea is to challenge you to think outside of the box. Be creative and artistic for this one. Set it up, stage it, enhance it in post processing, or just get lucky. Your creativity is limited only by your imagination.


IMPORTANT TO READ THE FOLLOWING:

There ya go, let's get shooting! CREATIVITY/TECHNIQUE rules in this challenge, but there are a few guidelines:


1. Any photo submitted for a monthly assignment must be taken using a Nikon Camera!

2. All submissions must be taken during the month specified in the assignment* thread and taken by YOU! (Please insure that EXIF is either posted with the photo or if it gets messed up, hold yourself to the honor system and add the minimum Exif data of the Camera used and the date the photo was taken to your post)

3. Obviously, for this challenge, your photo must contain something with "Seasonal." Other than that, it's all up to your interpretation of the theme. Any photo will be accepted, SOOC or edited, doesn't matter.

4. Photos must be posted in this thread to be considered. Links to photos will not be considered an entry (In other words, no Flikr, Photobucket, or similar links)

5. Only THREE entries per member for each assignment. Please post entries separately (1 photo per post) and number the entry.

6. Entries will be judged by the number of likes received.

7. The top 5 shots will be displayed in a separate thread, and will be displayed in no particular order.

8. This is intended to be a FUN challenge. No critiques unless specifically asked. Also, please limit posts to just photos and brief descriptions/titles. Any comments/discussion should occur elsewhere, PLEASE.

As listed in other challenges, please note: NO CASH OR PRIZES will be awarded for this Monthly Assignment.

HAVE FUN, can't wait to see the results!

*To clarify times for start and finish of the assignment, it is 0000 UTC/GMT similar to the weekly challenges.

Well, Summer's over here in Australia. But it's hardly what I would describe as "cold". Not yet anyway.

Nice photo, but you need to add the exif data ie Camera used and Date shot. Also, please upload the photo file directly to this thread. Linking to Flickr (See Guideline #4 in the first post) is probably why the Exif data didn't show up.

Noted. I'll have get my head round uploading direct rather than rely on the exif data that displays on Flickr.

To clear up some confusion on uploads and the guidelines for the Monthly Assignments, Guideline #4 is:

4. Photos must be posted in this thread to be considered. Links to photos will not be considered an entry (In other words, no Flikr, Photobucket, or similar links)

So Flikr links are not permitted for submissions.

To upload your photos, follow @Don Kuykendall guide:

**************************************************************

Guidelines to adding a photo to your post.

1. Resize photo to 1000px on the long side.
2. Resolution set to 72ppi (Pixels Per Inch)

These guidelines will be good for viewing on a computer but will not be good for printing. This will help safeguard your copyright.

Entry #1

Fire Season (Fire fighting chopper dumping water on the human caused fire)
Every year someone disregards the fact that it is HOT and DRY and WINDY out here in the desert and will burn trash or throw out a cigarette or leave a campfire unattended and cause the massive fire destruction.
