Last Saturday (3^rd November) was a glorious day for colours.  Despite winds this weekend looks good too.  You don’t have to go to New England.   In the South East, Sheffield Park – near Haywards Heath in Sussex is gorgeous.

We were not the only people there.  At a photographic event this week I was showing some of our albums – and met David.  He said “Wow – I was at the very same place – at the very same time – and have the very same photo”.

The record is worth keeping – and showing at its best.  That’s why I have a Print&Bind album for the whole day – and a few pages in my PhotoArt 2007 Highlights album.

  Some Photography Tips

1. Use a Polarising Filter

- accentuates colour, reduces haze

2. Shoot just before sunset

-  accentuates the reds and golds.

3. Don’t ignore the Overcast Days

- images can be rich, and the atmosphere more realistic

4. Look for Contrasts

- take adviantage of framing opportunities

Here are the results:
