Our Featured Articles Area for November

November marks the beginning of the night season. The clocks have gone back in the UK so we're getting few hours of daylight which makes the sleepy landscape photographer's job much easier. While in summer the landscaper rises at unearthly hour to shoot the sunrise, the winter snapper can get up at a sensible time to catch the glowing rays of the sun The downside is that golden ball is less likely to appear so be prepared to shoot mist.
The light will be low throughout the day so make sure you catch some of those long raking shadows, sparse woodland is ideal.
The beginning of November is firework time as we celebrate Guy Fawkes. The sky is lit with explosive colour from 2nd or 3rd November to well after the 5th so get your camera on a tripod and shoot the bursts.
Wildlife photographers should take a visit to the Lincolnshire Coast at Donna Nook where they will be in for a treat as hundreds of Grey seals swim ashore to give birth in the low level dunes.
Depending on the October weather you may be lucky enough to catch the later end of mushroom and fungi growth.
On this page we link to some of the techniques and guides that will give you ideas what to photograph and how to perfect your camera technique.
