Photographing "murmurations" is hard! I've tried without the success I'm looking for so far. (The birds rarely behave quite this way where I shoot.) But this. photograph from Søren Solkær is quite something.

Here’s another “order out of chaos” photograph, along the same lines as one I shared earlier.
It would be a crime to miss out on autumn, so I did not!

This forest photograph by Mike Prince is a type of image that is fascinating to me on several levels. For one, it isn’t easy finding a workable composition in scenes with such complex details.
Limestone oak wood. The last vestiges of autumn colour remained today. They were in the minority thanks to the greens off the ivy and brambles. The Oaks were gone completely with only a few hints of yellow from Sycamores, sweet chestnut and the odd birch. #photography #landscapephotography

This is an interesting photograph both for its composition and for its use of color. (Randal Perkinson)

This David Rippin photograph focuses on the transitory aspects of the season — a foggy moment, a bit of light, and autumn colors that last just a short time.
It was just stunning here in the southern Lakes this morning.

Gary Nylander’s photograph violates most of the supposed “rules of composition.” And it works.
Hint: They are not rules. They are observations about the effects of compositional choices. Here, centering the tree and placing the distant mountains beyond the lake so high produce a sense of quiet.
