Transition into Autumn Photography
Saturday 14 September
Castle Bromwich - 11am - 2 Hours
Martin Tierney
Autumn is such a wonderful time of year for capturing the beauty of nature through photography. It's a season that evokes feelings of warmth, coziness, and tranquility. As winter approaches, there's a sense of anticipation and change in the air, especially when the orange leaves meet the first frost. It's a great opportunity to capture these seasonal transitions and enhance the beauty of autumn in your photographs. I find that some of the most captivating autumn photos feature subjects that seamlessly blend in with their surroundings, creating a harmonious and serene atmosphere. In photography, just like in any form of art, there's such beauty in creating images that stand as pieces of art in their own right, without the need for explanation or context. The photo itself is a pure expression of creativity and emotion.The gardens are spacious and long, offering countless opportunities for photography, so bring a variety of lenses.
