Mini Challenge #322 ~ Autumn

Unless I’ve made a mistake it’s almost 3 years since this theme was chosen.

I want to see your shots of autumn colours, scenes or anything that says Autumn/Fall to you be it a golden tree, a pumpkin patch or a bowl of conkers!

There are some examples my autumn pictures in the next post.

You may use post processing to enhance your pictures; if you do please share the treatment you applied, (if, unlike me, you remember what you did!)

If you're familiar with extracting exif-data, let us know camera model, shutter-speeds, f-stops and ISO-numbers: others may be able learn from that!

The challenge begins now, and will end on Friday, 4th November 2011 at 12 Noon GMT

THE RULES
The host gives you a topic of interest and you get going.

You may enter up to three competition images.


The host chooses the winner after the challenge closes (usually after one week). The decision of the judge (the host) is final. The judge is not eligible. The winner then chooses the next topic, runs the challenge, judges the winner, and passes on the baton to that person.

If you submit a photo, please check in when the winners are posted. The first place winner is expected to host the next challenge. If the first place person cannot host, it moves to the 2nd place, etc.

Any picture you've taken is eligible regardless of time taken and camera.

Please reply to the FIRST (ORIGINAL) post if you are submitting an entry and please remember to change the Subject of your post to display your name or picture titles. This way, when someone comments (i.e. replies), it will refer specifically to you. If all entries read "Re: Mini Challenge #322"... it would be very boring to scan the list.

Try to put your entries within a 'single' post.

Please give a title to each photo - this makes it easier to differentiate when giving comments.


Feel free to comment on other contestants' images. If you want someone to leave you a piece of constructive criticism, put an asterisk * next to the title of the image.

POSTING GUIDELINES

Please embed your image in the thread. Also please re-size your photos prior to posting so they're sized appropriately for viewing without having to scroll (approx. 800 pixels on the longest side works best.)

As a show of courtesy, and to save bandwidth, please remove the original post when replying, so you don't bring back any previous photos.

Only in the Northern Hemisphere ;) but you are right, it was looking at the shots I took yesterday that gave me the idea for the theme.

Thanks for getting the challenge off to a great start; I particularly like the colours and unusual perspective of the third.

Nice colorful set and even the last one is neat in the size of that pumpkin.

One year ago I was visiting Germany. The weather was good , so I had the chance to shoot many photos, all of them falling into this topic's scope. Here are 3 of them.

1. A sunrise in Berlin, Germany

I did some research by using "The Photographer's Ephemeris" application in order to locate a place where the rays of the rising would be reflected along a watery surface. I was lucky enough to find a canal just 500 meters away from the hotel where I stayed, where the rising sun trajectory would be parallel to its course just for the week that I was there :)



2. A morning stroll in Dresden, Germany



3. A pond in Sansoucis Pavilion gardens, Potsdam, Gremany
