Harvest Assign.jpgOctober Monthly Assignment: Harvest, Produce, Still Life

This month's Assignment is mainly for Still Life, garden harvest, produce photography. Use whatever is around the house or in local markets. Lighting and composition will be your best friends for this month's assignment.

Assignments are designed to help you grow your photography skills and creativity, and have fun doing so. Assignments are to make all of us photographers think outside the box also.

The Rules
  1. Any photo submitted for a monthly assignment must be taken during the month specified in the assignment thread and taken by you! Because not all EXIFdata can be verified, we will use the honor system.
  2. Photos must be posted to the thread in order to be considered for the challenge. Links to photos will not be considered an entry.
  3. Only three photo entries per member, each photo being in a different post.
  4. Assignments will be judged solely by the panel. Individual voting via post "likes" will be incorporated into the final selection of the winning photo.
  5. Judging criteria is based on the Twelve Elements of a Merit Image.
  6. The panel will select 5 shots to be displayed in the Monthly Challenge forum and homepage of the site.
There will be no cash or prizes awarded for the Weekly Challenge, unless specifically noted by the site administrator.

Any photo will be accepted for the assignment. Edited/straight out of the camera, it does not matter. You are left with complete freedom to do whatever genre of photography you wish to do, and your own interpretation of this monthly theme.

Enjoy your Nikon and be creative.

My first entry for this theme.

I was on my way out to take some shots for the weekly theme, and wasn't thinking of this monthly theme at all, when I spotted these pumpkins, and they just seemed to be calling out “Harvest!” to me. I had my ancient Vivitar 85-205mm zoom lens mounted to my D3200, which, I think, really turned out to be the right lens for this shot.

�ƒ3.8, 1/4000 of second, ISO 1600.

[By the way, I did not do any “selective color” type of processing on this image. The background really was that colorless, compared to the pumpkins. All I did to contribute was to boost the saturation a bit.]
