Goodbye Autumn
Today is officially the last calendar day of Autumn. Although cold weather and a few snowflakes have come a few times until now, tomorrow is the day when Winter officially starts. So, while I’m writing this couple of rows, I think it’s the right time to look, photography-wise, how the Autumn went for me.
In some of my previous posts I wrote that if something marked the last three months of this, for me, the best season in the year for photography, it’s the lack of fog in my local area. Which is totally unexpected and a shame. I was so much looking forward, as I always do, for colder weather and colourful nature to arrive with some misty mornings, which we did have, but only in some marginal times.
It is well known to photographers that fog and mist make photos better, there is no doubt about it. Missing that, I was in need of an improvisation with my photos. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying by any means that you can’t have a great image without fog. That would be foolish. Not at all.
When I was in some local forests I was trying harder to get photos that would catch attention, here on this image with colours, more specifically yellow colour. I was careful not to include any sky, in this instance, as the sky would be a distraction in my opinion. Depending on the shot, I almost never liked to see forest shots with sky in it. I was shooting with a lens pointed a bit down from a little hill I was standing a few steps away.
Autumn passed so quickly it seems to me. And I’m a bit sad because of that. I had so many shots in my head that were never taken because of the atmosphere that never happened. That was the main disappointment. Expectations. Need to learn to calm them down.
Now I’m looking forward to Winter. It is forecasted to be a snowy one. Much more snow than in previous ones. So that would be nice for photography. There are some forests in my local area that I didn’t visit any time with snow. Until then, I’m saying goodbye to Autumn and all those shots I didn’t get.
