Autumn sun provides for dramatic photos.
Nature Photography Tips: Autumn often yields dramatic lighting situations for photography. When the sun is at it’s very lowest angle, like just after sunrise or just before sunset, a heavily clouded day can become special. The light seems to be more intense coming across the landscape beneath an otherwise heavy cloud layer.
So, even if it’s cloudy, keep your camera at the ready, you never know when the magic might happen! Shooting!
