Moving in to Autumn

Many of the photographers I know claim that Autumn is the most picturesque of all the seasons. In order to avoid venturing out into the snow I am going to agree. (I hate snow…always did!)

Another great thing about Autumn us that you don’t have to get up quite so early in order to capture sunrise shots and there is always quite a lot of the daytime left when the sun sinks below the horizon again in the afternoon.

So my vote stays with Autumn as a time when I should be taking photographs.

The other thing about Autumn is that there are such fascinating shots which don’t require a great journey. One of these was taken in the garden a couple of days ago.

So this week I have included some of my favourite places and interpretations.

You will only see these for a few weeks so you have to make the most of them – only don’t get carried away and snack on them

Last week one of my colleagues said he liked this shot – so I thought I would give it an airing. I think it’s all right but a bit dull. There again I am particularly fond of this next one – an Autumn shot with a difference. Please don’t say it was taken with a fish-eye lens! Unkind friends refer to it as “the dinner plate” (perhaps it says something about my love of dinner.

Quite ordinary places look special to me in the Autumn. This one below is Holt Country Park (on a sunny day)

Even early in the morning it can look picturesque – if you stand in the right place.

The sun may shine but sadly it’s not going to improve my sun tan. I reckon I have had that one for this year. So it’s back to the bleached looking legs if I venture in to my shorts. That’s enough for one week you don’t want to hear horror stories.

Have a good weekend.
