"Seasonal" Can be anything that depicts something that is "Seasonal"in your area. It could be a food product that is harvested at this time of year, a photo of a tradition that occurs in your area at this time, festivities... Not something that happens year round, but something that is noted for October in your area. It is really wide open and can and will vary depending on the part of the world you live in..

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.

A little history which more of the USA people will appreciate than any others...this was taken in Washington Crossing, Pennsylvania. During the Revolutionary War, George Washington had his soldiers cross the Delaware River on Christmas which helped them eventually win the war.

So not only are we celebrating Halloween which features skeletons (among other things), the garb of the...umm...soldier is more in theme with the history of that area.

Entry #1. Foliage and river fog. Early mornings at this time of the year brings wonderful light and photo ops down the street where we live. And it gave me the occasion to take out the D810.

Marcel, the EXIF data must have been stripped when you put the frame on or something. Please add it to your post. Thanks
Thanks for letting me know Walt. What happened is that I use the link from "My photos" when I posted it. Since the photo was from a previous post in another thread, I thought the Exif would follow. So I replaced the attachment with the original one from my computer.
