I’d like to dedicate this special Halloween PhotoChallenge to Jules the Great Dane who sadly passed away this week. You all had an opportunity to meet Jules and his little Sister Lilly in my intro video at 1:43 for the 2020 WEEK 38: PETS, DOMESTIC AND DOMESTICATED ANIMAL PORTRAITS PHOTO CHALLENGE.
Nothing like halloween to spice The PhotoChallenge!
This year, I wanted to do what I wanted to do last year which because of COVID, I didn’t get to do either this year. Time crept up on me and I just got busy at the wrong times to put all of this together as per my vision and my will to bring you something extra special for the Halloween PhotoChallenge.
I decided to turn to our infamous PHOTOGRAPHIC WHEEL OF FORTUNE and convert it to a HALLOWEEN PHOTOGRAPHIC WHEEL OF INSPIRATION…
It’s a little mix up of the old with the new. A spin may bring you back in time to one of our older Halloween Challenges or bring you to a new and wonderful idea to inspire a fabulous Halloween image. Naturally with COVID, if it really doesn’t fit your abilities to get it done as per the wheel, spin again. Please try and keep to one single spin and create from that point on.
DEFINING YOUR SPIN!
PET(S) IN HALLOWEEN COSTUME (May skip if no pets)
If you have no pets or access to a pet for Halloween, you may naturally skip this one and spin again. The pet may be dressed up or simply part of the decor. Below is an image to inspire you!

WILDCARD YOU CHOOSE
Total Halloween-themed creative freedom!
From my experience, Halloween has spread in many corners of our little round world. I’ve seen Halloween celebrations outside of North America in Switzerland, Italy and France… There’s always the chance that you don’t celebrate Halloween at all. It doesn’t matter, regardless of your location on planet earth, we’re not leaving you out of the PhotoChallenge that easily. Any fall-type celebration like Thanksgiving, or similar festivities like La Benichon in Fribourg, Switzerland, can be incorporated into this challenge in a creative way. That’s only if you don’t partake in Halloween festivities. For our friends down under, I know Fall is far from arriving. Please try your best to be creative 🙂
