Seasonal Shot Prompts (Monthly)

A rolling calendar of what to look for each month — subjects, weather and moods to prompt a shoot (Southern-Hemisphere seasons).

Month	Theme	Prompts
January	Heat & Light	Heat shimmer, harsh architectural shadows, sun-bleached signage, frangipani on pavement, glass glare, urban beach edges
February	Smoke & Storm	Storm fronts over skylines, rain on hot roads (steam), umbrella silhouettes, wind-twisted trees, puddle reflections
March	Softening Edges	Morning fog layers, first autumn leaves, sunset commuters, lengthening shadows, seed pods against sky
April	Autumn Structure	Leaves against infrastructure, branches as grids, mist around streetlights, puddle-mirror symmetry, fungi on logs
May	Warm In / Cool Out	Warm interior windows at blue hour, people in entrances, fogged windscreens, bare-tree silhouettes, patterned puddles
June	Winter Geometry	Minimalist lines on grey sky, birds on wires, riverside fog, empty benches, rain-slick footpaths
July	Solitude & Stillness	Lone commuters in large spaces, condensation on metal, misty dawn breath, quiet parks, figures framed by winter trees
August	Awakening	Wattle against concrete, wind-bent plants, first magnolias, moving cloud masses, new shoots through fences
September	Spring Surge	Backlit fresh leaves, dew close-ups, pollinators, vines on structures, spring-light shadows
October	Colour City	Jacaranda streets, petal carpets, blooms vs cranes/buildings, market colour blocks, glass reflections of flowering trees
November	Expanding Light	High-sun architectural glare, storm light before rain, summer gardens, crowd movement as pattern, red/green/gold palettes
December	Celebration & Motion	Angophora reds on blue sky, holiday crowds, summer beach shadows, fountains, Christmas lights with natural elements
