AUTUMN PHOTOGRAPHY

It is that time of year again when the hours of daylight are growing shorter and there is a crisp, cool bite to the air each morning. The landscape is changing, with an array of fiery colours replacing the fresh, green foliage of spring and summer. The light is more attractive thanks to the sun’s lower position in the sky, and moisture in the atmosphere produces glistening dew and eerie mists. The weather is generally less predictable, resulting in dramatic skies and gorgeous transient light. Berries, seeds and the fruits of autumn are to be found everywhere, along with toadstools, which decorate gardens and woodland. Autumn is nature’s most bountiful time of year – and it can prove hugely fruitful for photography, too.

Surely no season provides more colour or seasonal opportunities than autumn. But to get the most from it, you need to plan, prepare and anticipate. A little inspiration and some creative ideas don’t go amiss, either. Which is why we’ve compiled a collection of tips to ensure you’re ready for the seasonal delights throughout September, October and November. To make the most of the season, carry a range of focal lengths, from wide- angle to telephoto, plus a close-up attachment. Wrap up warm and make a flask of tea or coffee – it’s time to head outdoors and shoot autumn.

Nature’s harvest is abundant, providing plenty of great close-up subjects and the opportunity to be creative with your photographic compositions
