Waking up to the layer of frost covering the land and the stillness of the animals makes me remember just why I love the autumn. The beautiful coloured leaves that litter the ground and the chill that makes your nose go red! Being a photographer I relish this season, taking advantage of the morning sun shining through the trees to capture some beautiful, unique and stunning shots, some of which have been featured in magazines such as the 'Cheshire Life'.

Personally, I think the best way to capture the stunning side of nature and the countryside is to take natural shots, sometimes a posed shot is needed but most of my images are simply as I find them. I also think that having an animal in shot or some sort of focal point, whether this be a centre shape for example the sun or area of light, is important. I also tend to work on the rule of three, a handy tip for any aspiring photographer. Each photo of mine can be split into three sections which all balance each other out, this is explicitly shown on the Colour of Nature picture, as you see the bottom third is darker with few leaves, the middle third is brighter with less leaves and the top third in order to balance the others is as bright as the middle but with more leaves consequently creating a pathway for your eye to follow through the picture.
The countryside lends itself beautifully when being a subject of photography is concerned. You can capture the ice that may only last five minuets when the sun appears for a lifetime through a lens. The next frosty morning we have, I urge you to throw on your dressing gown and grab your camera, go and see what beauties you can capture!
