| Beautiful Autumnal colour |
The weather over the last few days has been unseasonably warm. Still no overnight frosts in Strathspey, or anywhere else I would guess. Its also been quite dull and with a fair share of rain. There has been some wonderful periods of sunshine during parts of the day. The colours this time of year have made up for the lack of cold and clear conditions. On Sunday it was calm with light winds and a dry day for a Mountain Hare Photography workshop. Unbelievably warm, I was sweating in a base layer and flies knocking about at 600m.

The Autumn colours on the trees just about at their prime now.
Some wonderful periods with the hares.

The Red Deer rut looks like its coming to a gradual end. Spotted a large group of around 40, stags and hinds all together.

| Lovely afternoon on Monday |
Monday was another dull day but with a forecast of some sunshine in the afternoon. I had a quick run out on the E-bike. That is, of course, the Environmental bike, the one with pedals and no engine.

| Autumn Gold |
The Autumn colours absolutely at their finest.
A fine time to be out with your camera.
It does really baffle me why you see so many Autumnal scenes on social media were the images have been 'manipulated, distorted, saturated and edited' beyond anything like what was seen by the human eye.
With colours so vibrant and the light just beautiful there is absolutely no need. Get a half decent camera (or mobile phone), go in good light, learn some basic photography settings and you can't go wrong!
All of these mages (as always) have very limited post processing. I spend less than 20 seconds doing some very minor adjustments,
