Ten Thousand Hours Photography

10,000 Hours Deliberate Practice Learning the Art of Photography

Review of Autumn 2017

16/12/2017

Autumn Photography

Misty Morning – Lake at Langley Park

It is my intention to post quarterly reviews of shots taken during the last season.  This is the first; this is Autumn 2017.

Technically autumn is defined as the period between the September equinox  and the Winter equinox (21/22 Dec.)  However, for convenience I’m going to conduct my quarterly reviews at the start of December, March, June and September.  So I define: Autumn as September to November; Winter as December to February; Spring as March to May, Summer as June to August.  Currently, I’m feeling a little bit smug about this determination given the weather experienced on the 10th, see my Journal for that day.

The photographer I have most been influenced by during this period is Paul Mitchell.  Particularly with regard to his Woodland photography taken at Burnham Beeches and Stoke Common.  Fortunately, both these locations are very close to me.  Doubly fortunately, I was able to attend a full day workshop by Paul at the Thames Valley branch of the Royal Photographic Society’s Digital Imaging Group, where he spent a morning talking about how he creates his images.  Included in this was a working demonstration of his post-processing workflow in Lightroom and Photoshop.

If you have any comments on this post, please post them below.
