In half of the world, this time of year marks the moment when shorts and t-shirts are packed away, making space for sweaters, cozy blankets and fuzzy socks. Can you tell autumn is actually my favorite time of year? With days getting shorter and nights getting longer, so does the amount of natural light we see every day. This month's challenge is all about low lighting and a gloomy atmosphere befitting of the start of Autumn and of course: Halloween at the end of the month [EMOTE] The challenge In essence, the challenge is simple: Capture a subject of your choice in low lighting or a single light source, using a slow shutter speed. Get creative! For example, you can: Photograph the sea at sunset or sunrise, captung the movement of water using a slow shutter speed. Ask your partner/ friend/ sibling/ parent to head outside with you, find a streetlight and capture them walking beneath it using a slow shutter speed. Turn off all the lights in your home, light a candle, and

[DEVIATION] Live long and prosper because it's Star Trek Day! 60 years ago today, on September 8th 1966, the first episode of Star Trek aired in the United States of America. "The Man Trap" saw the crew of the USS Enterprise encountering a mysterious space vampire on an alien planet. Funny thing about this episode? It wasn't even the actual pilot episode of Star Trek! After a failed first pilot episode was rejected as "too brainy" for audiences, a rare second pilot episode secured the show's future; but even that pilot wasn't aired until the third episode of season 1. "The Man Trap" won out as it featured distinct sci-fi elements, a mysterious alien monster, and showcase the main trio of Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. Who knew!   In honor of this stellar anniversary, I have a galaxy full of fun Star Trek facts, fictions, and fantasies for you to enjoy below. Set phasers for fun! Beyond Antares is a song written for Nyota Uhura [ Nichelle Nichols] and was originally sung accompanied by the

I woke up today to the sound of rain hitting the windows. I peeked through the blind - wow, a vertical wall of water! It felt like salvation after weeks of relentless heatwave. I don't particularly like summer; here in the UK, the heat is worse than in many places, because the humidity makes every step feel like waddling in soup. But now, the air is finally crisp and fresh, and I can breathe again. The light changes too; the sun is lower in the sky, casting dramatic shadows that make everything look like a painting. What's that? Sweaters? Well, duh! Sweaters are the best! I love the texture of wool, and my cardigans still carry a faint smell of the laundry detergent from when I retired them. (Also, thick socks. Also flat caps!) Fall just seems to be the most comfortable time of year for me - cozying up with books, drinking hot chocolate, and watching the leaves turn from green to yellow and then to orange. And the food! Pumpkin spice everything! Extra cinnamon, warm soups
