Autumn moves south at a speed of around 2 MPH so here in the New Forest it is much later than most people in the country imagine. Although the best colours on acers can be in September and October quite often we don’t see the best colours in beech trees till early November. Photographing the colours of autumn can be tricky too especially on a bright day. Our eyes can see a much greater range of exposures and colours than even the very best modern cameras cope with and if you use them on auto they can easily be fooled into giving you poor exposures. Even when you get the exposure right, shooting in RAW allows you to bring the very best details out in your final image. If you would like to learn more I can help. Click here to take a look.

Yesterday I took a little time out from Photography Work to have a little Photography Play. Jo and I decided to go to Hatchet Pond in the New Forest and we came across a very obliging swan. As always when the sun is going down you get a few photographers. While they were busy photographing the sunset I thought the clouds were way more interesting. A touch of split toning during the editing process brings out the beautiful shapes.

I am so lucky to live here in the New Forest. When you get to know the place and the seasons you have great opportunities to play with your camera. Clearly other people love the place too because some of my local photos continue to do well in worldwide competitions.
This photo of the pine trees on Aldridge Heath came 5th in a “Woodland” themed competition.
And this photo of 4 Red Deer Stags taken at dawn in August when the antlers were covered in lovely velvet is one of my more successful images. In this case it came 4th in “Wild Deer”.
I have also sold both these images as impressive large acrylic mounted prints. Acrylic mounted prints look particularly good in more modern homes whilst canvasses do better in traditional cottages.

I am so lucky to be able to regularly find lovely animals like this near to where I live. I have been photographing red deer for a number of years and have known this group of stags for around 8 years. There now seems to only be 3 but they are looking very strong and healthy this year.
