FRAMES: Photo Challenge #94: Autumn

It is time for the annual Autumn/Fall themed photo challenge!

So your challenge, if you choose to accept it of course, is to show me your best photo depicting Autumn. You can interpret the theme of Autumn however you wish. If Autumn to you is a pile of giant pink and orange leaves with a rake sweeping them up, then snap it. Maybe a still life of the pumpkin spice latte that you drink every morning really screams the autumnal season to you, if so shoot it. Then again maybe to you Autumn is all about the fun of fall sports and brilliantly colorful Halloween costumes, if so then capture a few shots of those as well.

Deadline for this challenge is November 2nd.

You may email your entries to me: mreid@kitsapsun.com or use the handy “Upload Kitsap Frames Photo Challenges here” link on the right side of this page. Photos chosen as “Stand-Outs” will  be published in an upcoming edition of the Kitsap Sun. If you do use the uploader on the right of the page, please be sure your real life name is somewhere on the upload form.

As a recap, these photo challenges were started to give local shutterbugs  an opportunity to share their work, perhaps get published in the paper, maybe learn some photo tips and tricks and most of all to encourage people to get out there with their cameras (or iPhones) and have some fun taking photos.

As usual, here are a few from our archives to get you thinking about Autumn:
