Autumn Wildlife Photography Top Tips - Part 1

Autumn is an amazing time to get outdoors with your camera – it’s a time of great change, of epic migrations and swirling murmurations. There’s so much to see, and in this series James Lees, acclaimed photographer and Reserve Warden at WWT Slimbridge, will share with you his top tips. Whether you’re using a blaze of orange trees as a background, or trying to capture the beauty and grace of a swan as it comes in to land, James will add some sizzle to your autumnal snaps.
