October Idea List

October is here.
I love everything about October.
The light begins to change, the greens of summer turn orange and yellow, and Ian wears costumes more than any other month. (And he wears them A LOT the rest of the year!)
There are new colors to turn our lenses toward and new subjects to inspire our photography. From comfort food to zombies, this month’s list is packed with inspiration.
We are counting down to Halloween with the 13 Spooky Days Until Halloween. The daily email will include tips, tricks, and techniques for capturing your Halloween. Subscribe to the daily idea email here. It’s free!
Download the October List. Tell us in the comments below how you use the idea list. Don’t just download and run!
Are you using the 365 list for inspiration this month? Share this tweetable.
How can you use the list? Follow three quick steps!
Step One: Get The List
Download the list to your smartphone or print it if you’re phone isn’t so smart 
. I keep a printed one where I can see it for quick reference.
Step Two: Pick A Prompt
Go sequential if that’s your thing or pick one that inspires you. The list is meant to stretch your creative muscles! Create your image with whatever camera you have!
Step Three: Share Your Photo
Sharing is caring, right?! Upload your photos to the CY365 Gallery for a little gallery love or tag them on Instagram with #CY365. This project is easier with a friend.
And Then…
In the comments below I’d love to know your favorite thing about October!
what i love about october is how the leaves change, the air is crisp and cool…and oh yeah…it my birthday month
October tends to be a tough month for me … it’s the beginning of the time of year where I get the most homesick. I miss the cooler weather and changing colors of New England and with all the holidays coming I miss my family terribly.
As for using the idea list – most of the time I do it in order and try to take a creative approach to the prompt in some way be it my interpretation of it or how I shoot it, but there are times I skip around or switch days or just ignore a prompt all together because it doesn’t work for me or I have something else I want to include in my 365 project for that day.
I can’t believe how close I am to having a whole year’s worth of pictures under my belt!! A friend on facebook informed me that we have just over 80 days to go until the end of the year!!
Without the prompts and this group I am not sure I would have made it this far.
Thanks Katrina!
So glad I found your site through another blog… My favorite thing about October is – EVERYTHING. Living in Phoenix it’s so wonderful to welcome the cooler weather. I love the fall festivals and of course Halloween. It really is my favorite month of the year.
Welcome Melissa! I’m with you and fall. I LOVE it!
