agricultural fair

Indeed, Pumpkinfest is about more than pumpkins! Has your vegetable harvest ever struck you as somewhat mammal-like? Do you fancy yourself a master canner, photographer, or centrepiece arranger? Think your baking skills would put the Cake Boss to shame? Come show us what you got!

  11. Use wide-angle / fish eye lens to experiment.

  12. Work with depth of field; work with shutter speed; try "action" shots.
