Autumn

The seasons pass so quickly and as August ends we move into September with the mornings and evenings becoming fresher and more invigorating.
The trees become drier and the leaves transition into a blaze of majestic glory creating a wonderful array of photographic opportunities.
Wherever I go I am drawn towards water as it creates a variety of different scenarios throughout the year. As we approach Autumn water levels rise which gives significant leverage for artistic, symmetrical compositions.
Such abstract reflections exude the vivid,warm hues from the overhanging trees which are covered in Autumnal foliage and which are so striking. 

 Clouds in the sky also create more interest and give depth and feeling to a composition with their soft and subdued light painting the sky . When the sun sets or the sun rises it can under light the clouds to splash an array of reds, yellows, pinks and purples across the sky and which reflect so wonderfully in puddles and the soft, wet sand.
Often the bright sun can make this season come alive with the penetrating light, dancing elegantly through the trees and making them seem alive. Or we can take in the  enchantment of the misty mornings which create such moody scenes.
There is much to see and do in Autumn and I love to make the most of these serene and magical moments and capture the mood that this season emits before the trees become bare and naked and Winter is upon us once again..
