U<\/span>gh. November. If there were a contest for the least-photographic month on the calendar, November would win it hands-down. Grey, barren, sleety. Ugh.<\/p>\n

Usually, I love writing up this weekly summary of my 365 pictures, but I’m so abysmally lacking in inspiration right now neither the photographic opportunities nor writing about them is appealing. I’m really hoping this ennui is as transient as the autumn leaves.<\/p>\n

Speaking of leaves, could I possibly wrest one last dead-leaf image out of the season? How about the ghostly imprint of the leaves of autumn departed?<\/p>\n

Heck, even the geese know it’s time to get out of town.<\/p>\n

\"286:365<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, when it’s too rainy or wet or dark to venture outside, there are things inside that are worth taking a closer look at.<\/p>\n

\"285:365<\/a><\/p>\n

And Halloween is good for a few gratuitous shots!<\/p>\n

\"284:365<\/a><\/p>\n

If you get outside while the sun is shining, you can almost forget that winter is on it’s way…<\/p>\n

\"288:365<\/a><\/p>\n

(I couldn’t decide if I liked the one featuring Lucas the best, or the four of these in a set together.)<\/p>\n

I was feeling in such a photographic rut that I thought maybe I should try something new, so I tried to emulate some high-key portraits I’ve seen recently. It didn’t quite work, but if nothing else, I’ve figured out over the course of 289 days worth of pcitures that I learn as much from my failures and attempts as I learn from my successes.<\/p>\n

\"289:365<\/a><\/p>\n

(He’s is mighty cute regardless, though, isn’t he? Beloved said the problem with portraits in high-key — that strong, flat lighting — is that it blows out the mid-tones, which are very important in a portrait. See, lesson learned — and shared!)<\/p>\n

And hey, at least we can look forward to seven weeks’ worth of Christmas-themed images!! (The title of this photo, taken two days after Halloween, is “Oh no!” you groan, “Not already!” <\/em>They were out the first Monday in November, stringing up 300,000 lights for the Christmas Lights Across Canada <\/a>festival.)<\/p>\n

\"287:365<\/a><\/p>\n

Even if November begins with photographic whinging and ennui, I can still look back on the photos I took in October and think to myself, “Damn, I’ve taken some really good pictures!” See?<\/p>\n
