Last chance at Autumn
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 сен 2024
- I thought that I had missed autumn this year, but I had one last chance to get out before all of the leaves were lost. Today's adventure follows me running around trying to capture some colours on the trees at a local woodland and Wakehurst Place. I also investigate whether Infrared works on autumn leaves?

Sony A7iii - this is my primary stills camera that works with native Sony lenses and all my Canon EF lenses on the Sigma MC-11 adaptor
Canon 5D3 - I use this camera when I use my EF glass and there is no benefit in adapting

Lovely fungi shot Ben, they are one of my photo favourite hunting addictions especially at this time of year. Also love the lower branch colour shot 2:36/38. You got some good IR shots despite the dull weather. Thanks for sharing
We were expecting the picturesque red mushrooms with white spots on them, like the front cover of their brochure....but I think we were a bit late for that!
Love the video. Nice idea to keep a notebook on the trees & research them. I find with bird photography that I am gradually learning to recognise bird calls. We learn by observing nature in photography 👏
I find that it sinks in to my long-term memory when I draw them in my sketch book, it makes me think about it a bit more. If you get really good at tree knowledge then you can distinguish a tree from its bark!
The small grouping of horizontal branches works really well, great minimalist take on fall leaves.
Thanks - I struggle with woodland photography, it’s a test in finding a focal point and a clean, balanced composition and hopefully the light works in your favour!
@@benharveyphotography I loved the one at around 2:38. I'm a sucker for bright splashes of color like that. My wife's family had a house up in the mountains of North Carolina. We set our exam schedule so we could get up there for the fall leaves. It was spectacular. Sadly, the house is now gone.
Kool. Love the IR images. The one @ 2:30, I wonder what a 3x1 crop might be like. Maybe the backlit leaves could look like a leaf "cloud" floating through the forest? Cheers!
Cheers Brian, I think that the IR images might have saved me that day, the sun didn't really make an appearance - yet the IR images still came out quite punchy.
I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. Your photographs are superb.
Thank you Sarah, I appreciate the kind words. This weeks video was a bit spontaneous, but I think I managed to get some interesting images.
certainly been a good year for autumnal photography Ben but other priorities have kept me out getting out into the woodlands this year. Dont think I have seen autumn done in IR before so it was interesting to see what you captured and really like your final image of the fungi too
Hey Jim, there will be plenty more autumns - don't worry about it. Plus the cold weather has started to kick in now, hoping for some frosty or snowy scenes very soon. Hopefully you find some time to get out with the camera soon. I hope to catch up soon to chat about tilt-shift lenses!
@@benharveyphotography look forward to catching up with you and happy to chat anytime
