“Most people chasing their dreams don't see the bigger picture, they just see the silhouette. Make the vision real!” — Joel Brown
Week 43: Capture your subject in silhouette, an outline that appears dark against a light background. Lighting is key here and remember silhouettes are not the same thing as a shadow. #capture52 #capture52week43 #silhouette #carouseldulouvre #pyramidedulouvre

It is one of my favorite months, yet when I imagine a color to represent October, I immediately think of orange — my least favorite color (Read why here). I won’t deny that orange leaves and pumpkins add seasonal charm to October photographs, but I can’t commit to a whole month of orange pictures. So what color is October?
Perhaps Anne Shirley described it best: “October was a beautiful month at Green Gables [and in Wisconsin — MLH], when the birches in the hollow turned as golden as sunshine and the maples behind the orchard were royal crimson and the wild cherry trees along the lane put on the loveliest shades of dark red and bronzy green, while the fields sunned themselves in the aftermaths. Anne reveled in the world of color about her....I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers. It would be terrible if we just skipped from September to November, wouldn't it?" - L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables.
Cheers to a brilliant October featuring the loveliest shades of autumn, and yes, even orange!
“Ah, September! You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul... but I must confess that I love you only because you are a prelude to my beloved October.” ― Peggy Toney Horton
