Autumn is the season photography was invented for. It extends from the tail end of summer greenery right through to frosty mornings; within those boundaries, a vast range of seasonal moods and experiences is just waiting to be captured by your lens.
To make the most of autumn’s awesome photogenic display, you have to be on the ball and ready to capture events as they happen, with an eye on the forecast and your camera kit at the ready. Here we suggest 10 great projects anyone can try, regardless of the equipment you have or your experience in using it. Follow us on our journey through the many moods of the season, and capture a portfolio of colour, energy and atmosphere.
