With the seasons turning there’s a lot going on in the sky to keep photographers busy.
According to local photographer Craig Mason autumn is a “tremendous time of the year to be a photographer”.
The recent cool weather has created crisp mornings, and with the sun now sitting a little lower in the sky creating longer and stronger shadows, the sunsets have been breathtaking.
“Early morning and late afternoons take on a slightly green hue to the blue sky, in which there is a freshness to the air and light as well – usually meaning better vision over longer distances,” Craig adds.
“Any up-and-coming landscape photographer who’d not getting out of bed an hour before sunrise is missing out.”

He says this time of year with the change in atmospheric conditions is one of the best to be out shooting.
The change in conditions after such a prolonged hot period has also produced some dramatic storm activity in recent days.
“Landscape photography is all about atmospherics, so a combination of autumn and sunrise or sunset produces the best in this type of photography.
“Any up-and-coming landscape photographer who’s not getting out of bed an hour before sunrise is missing out.”
Craig suggests using a tripod and a polarising filter to strengthen contrast and colour in your images.
