New Forest Landscape | Photographing the Beautiful Autumn Scenery
For a budding photographer, autumn is the perfect time to capture some stunning shots of the New Forest landscape.
Read on to discover some great hints and tips to get started:
New Forest Landscape: Try Some Different Methods
If you’re looking for some inspiration, try experimenting with some different styles of photography. For example, showcase the beauty of the surrounding autumn scenery by using a subject to enhance your photos.
Using a family member, friend or pet, you can capture some beautiful shots of them playing or interacting with the autumnal nature surrounding them, such as wading through the mounds of gold, orange and red leaves that have fallen to the ground.
Embrace Natural Weather Changes
The background and atmosphere of a shot can make or break the result of your photograph; instead of avoiding photography due to the weather, learn to embrace it.
For example, a heavy mist on the New Forest landscape can create a mystical scene, whilst the golden glow of the setting sun can instil a sense of magic in your images.
Seek Out Local Wildlife in the New Forest Landscape
At Balmer Lawn Hotel, we’re surrounded by plenty of wildlife, such as wild horses or roaming deer, that make for brilliant additions to your autumnal photography.
Capturing images of these animals within the New Forest landscape can create some beautiful, unique pieces, showcasing the beauty of our local area.
Learn to Use What You Have
You may not realise it, but you don’t always need large and expensive camera equipment to capture the perfect shot. You can achieve beautiful photos by using a disposable camera, polaroid or a smartphone.
Explore different settings to utilise the equipment you have, and spend some time studying the New Forest landscape to capture a truly unique shot.
