This weekend’s theme celebrates autumn!
The task:
Create an image that evokes the spirit of Autumn. 
“Autumn, with its enchanting arrival, paints the world in a rich tapestry of colors. Trees shed their summer greens to don vibrant coats of red, orange, and golden yellow, creating a breathtaking spectacle of nature’s artistry. The air turns crisp and cool, carrying the earthy scent of fallen leaves and the promise of cozy evenings by the fire. Harvest festivals abound, celebrating the bounty of the season with apples, pumpkins, and warm spices infusing every bite. As days grow shorter, there’s a sense of introspection, a reminder of the fleeting nature of time. It’s a time for donning scarves and sipping on steaming mugs of cider while relishing the beauty of change and the gentle embrace of autumn’s embrace.”
Here are some suggestions on how you can approach this challenge:
Location and Setting: Start by choosing a suitable location that represents autumn. 
Colour Palette: Autumn is known for its warm and earthy colours, such as deep oranges, reds, yellows, and browns. 
Lighting: The quality of light during autumn can be magical. Golden hour, which occurs during sunrise and sunset, can add a warm and soft glow to your image, enhancing the autumn atmosphere. 
Autumnal Elements: To convey the essence of autumn, include elements like fallen leaves, pumpkins, apples, acorns, or other seasonal items in your composition. 
Personal Traditions: Incorporate personal elements that represent your unique autumn traditions. If you have a special place you visit every year at this time, consider featuring it in the photo. 
Emotion and Storytelling: Think about the emotions associated with autumn and your traditions. Is it a time of coziness, reflection, or celebration for you? 
Narrative and Caption: To complete the challenge, provide a brief caption or description that explains the personal traditions or emotions captured in the image. Share the story behind the photo, explaining why these autumn moments are meaningful to you. (This is sometimes the most challenging part of the challenge for me.)
