As we bemoan the arrival of the cooler months, it's actually a great time to take photos.
When the sun's shining, grab the camera for some cracking shots. With the sun tracking lower in the sky, the colours become more saturated and more striking.
It's a great time to refresh those homepage gallery photos.
Just remember to keep the sun behind you and watch out for your wonderful subjects squinting. And the best tip of all; if you want a photo to have greater impact, just get closer.
The image below was taken at 2pm (July last year). You can see the long shadows and the intensity of the colours. Taken on an iPhone 14 in panorama mode - and with no filters. Just a beautiful winter's day providing all the effects you'd ever need!
