Out of all the seasons, Autumn is perhaps the most alluring. The warm golden hour that bathes everything in sight is the perfect lighting opportunity for keen landscape photographers, while the crunchy, earthy foliage provides a captivating canvas. Outdoor portraits can look magnificent with the backdrop of crisp skies a stark contrast to the crimson floor of fallen leaves. And it’s this time of year when wildlife wander in the soft light, preparing themselves for winter as they rummage for food supplies.
