As summer comes to an end and autumn arrives along come some interesting photographic subjects. Here are my top 5 subjects to photograph in the autumn.

You may have noticed mushrooms and fungi popping up all over the place now that the atmosphere is getting damper. They make brilliant stationary photographic subjects. Try to use low and interesting angles to capture them in a different perspective to what we normally see.

When autumn arrives it brings with it the most stunning warm lighting along with it. Beautiful hazy sun rises are enough to motivate anyone out of bed. Take your camera with you to capture the moment.
On dewy autumnal mornings spiders and their webs can be seen in abundance in hedges and fields, and even on cars. Their dew covered webs can provide a brilliant subject for photography. See if you can photograph the spider whilst it is making a web for added interest.

As the leaves begin their colour transition it can create some beautiful landscapes to photograph. Throughout the autumn try different angles, you could capture the details of a singular leaf, looking up into the canopy or a wooded area with a carpet of fallen leaves, the possibilities are endless.

Throughout the autumn months flocks of birds can be seen all around the country. This sparks a lot of interest with wildlife photographers and nature lovers alike. Try to photograph the birds in the evening in front of a strong sunset to create a stunning silhouetted image.
