Being new to this I have only lived through the summer so far. Already I am seeing a difference in the photo opportunities afforded due to the changing season and weather.

I am interested in the time of year that you all prefer for togging, specifically for the shots that you can only take at that time of year.

Also why do you prefer it? I know it's cold in the winter, but is that offset by the captures that are available?

Look forward to your replies as I move into uncharted opportunities!!
 
sorry. I thought it was misspelled and there should have been a d in place of the t.

Thought I'd got the wrong forum!

Everyone has to ask that one at some stage - and everyone feels a Pillock for doing so :D

Winter months are my preference as you can do sunrise & sunset in the same day without having to be up at 3.00 a.m. or staying out until 10.00 p.m. to do so

The usual 'Rule' about not taking photos at midday doesn't apply either as the Sun doesn't rise high enough to cause the Summer problems of shooting at midday

The light can have fantastic qualities and then we can add in fog, mist, frost, snow too - and get them all in one day!

Brill :thumbs:

the day i go out with the camera is my special time of year, as there is so much to see and do on each day ,as there are never two days the same say in the summer or which ever season you are out in.

bluebells=spring but you can have sun streaming through the trees or mist with the flower just coming through.

golden leaves sun or gloom

sunsets any time of year.

so hence the opening statement
 
I love it at the moment, due to the early morning and early evening warm light, and the combination of plenty of late summer flowers and the beginnings of autumn colours on the trees :D. Winter is pretty darn good too, though, for the reasons that DD gives above :D
 
Any tme of year for me, only thing I don't like is when its chucking it down with rain simply because I get wet often enough anyway without going out looking for soggy subjects that try to hide when they see me coming on a good day :lol:
 
Any day it's not raining is good for me. I'm with DD on not having to be up at 3am though. ( I used to be going home at that time and now, at my age, I'm really cranky if I have my sleep disturbed!) :)

Winter light can be quite magical but it's often difficult to shoot people at that time of year because they are covered in layers of clothes. Studio time!

a made up word for taking pictures which sounds a bit rude. its a forum only word no real photographer would actually use this word to describe taking pictures lol
 
anytime of the year so long as its dry and the light is good for taking photographs

:lol::lol: Welcome to the dog house ;)

Don a warm jacket and any time of the year is dooable!
 
I like spring best I think but all seasons have their good and bad points.
 
The second half of August is a great time for taking landscape pics - days are that much shorter meaning you don't have to get up so early or to be bed so late.

Mid-August in some ways is the beginning of autumn too, some of the summer vegetation is dying back, grasses and bracken are browning, the heather is in flower, the season of mists and mellow fruitfullness has begun. All that monotonous summer green is resolving into different shades.

I find that by mid-September the colours are looking a bit faded and tired, then there's another burst end October- middle November as the trees lose their leaves.

Oh yes, then it rains for a whole month from the middle of august to the middle of September ....:shake:
