What to photograph now the dragons have gone?

[Maccattack]

I seem to be missing the dragonflies , any suggestions to fill the void until next year?

I tend to concentrate on dragons and other insects in summer then move onto birds in winter. You could try your hand at landscapes this time of year if you have a lens or camera that will do it.

Fungi, mosses, lichens, deer....

I moved on to fungi once the moths and other insects had gone. But now there isn't so much fungi around so its trees that I have have been photographing . Roll on Spring!

Apart from those already suggested: spiders and, today, rain!

If you are looking for inspiration, there are some good photography magazines at your newsagent that offer ideas on a regular basis. I spend this time of year gathering all my ideas for the new year and photographing birds and landscapes. I also set up a good bird feeding station which helps the little fellas out when it is really cold but offers good opportunities for me too. Good luck.

Thanks hadnt thought of fungi , they dont jump around much in the wind and I can get close up and macro with them. May have to get more reach for the birds (only go to 200mm so far)

Macro shots of ice and frost are always impressive so they may give another option.

Autumn colour, although you'll need to be quick - it's almost over for this year.

This is one of my favourite photos from the last few weeks...



As Mark H says, soon be time for frost and (fingers crossed!) snow.

Trolls, orcs, balrogs? ....

Yes, the autumn colours - lingering on longer than usual but why not trees in winter? Recognising tree species in winter takes some practice but we don't have that many pictures of them.

You will always find insects and other invertebrates if you turn over stones or logs (replacing them later, of course) even in mid-Winter. Light may be a problem - that's when you need a ringflash but cold winter days are often very bright .... nil desperandum!
