Autumn is coming again. Five ideas for photographing

This article was translated from Dutch with the help of AI. Read the original.

Autumn is slowly but surely returning. The leaves will change colour and mushrooms will appear everywhere again. There will be more chances of misty mornings. In short, the most beautiful season for photographers is just around the corner.

Every season has its own charm, but autumn perhaps has the most. It can be colourful and is suitable for a wide range of types of photography. 

Autumn is not just beautiful for landscape photographers. Macro photographers can also enjoy themselves with mushrooms. Portrait photographers get beautiful backgrounds to work with.

The autumn leaves are also beautiful for still lifes and abstract photography. Are you a wildlife photographer? Then the red deer rutting season is approaching. Or the bird migration if you photograph birds.

What will you photograph during autumn? Do you already have ideas or plans? I have put together a number of ideas.

1. Autumn landscapes

Look for mountain streams in the Ardennes, or walk through deciduous forests. Head out when the weather alternates between rain and sunshine for beautiful cloudscapes. There is plenty to photograph.

2. MushroomsAutumn is not complete without mushrooms. For macro and semi-macro photographers, this may well be the ultimate subject. Once you start photographing them, you lose track of time.

You can look for different species, but that is not necessarily needed. Try to capture common species in a creative way. Use small lights or other aids.

3. The rutting season / bird migration

The bird migration is also a great time to photograph birds. Of course, there are the geese gathering in fields. Or the cranes flying overhead, trumpeting.

4. Still lifes / autumn leaves

I have decided to make a series of photos of autumn leaves myself this year. A sort of still life. With small lights, flashes and that kind of equipment. 

5. Autumn portraitsAsk a model and head out for a photo session. Use the autumn setting as a background or foreground. Make use of the sunlight or play with the leaves to dress up your photo.

Use separate flashes to control the ambient light and the light on your model. There are countless ways to let autumn appear in your photo to a greater or lesser extent.

6. Do you have any more ideas?

Do you have a subject or idea that you will work on this autumn? Things you are going to experiment with, or that you always enjoy photographing? Let us know in a comment below this post.
