For our late-autumn session, we’re heading to the spectacular Savernake Forest. This is the time of year when the "ancient giants" are at their most atmospheric, with deep copper leaves and hopefully some morning mist.

Recommended Gear
Camera: Anything from a Smartphone to a Professional DSLR/Mirrorless.
Lenses: While wide lenses capture the scale, a 24-70mm or longer is highly recommended to help compress the woodland scenes and bring those distant trees together for a dramatic effect.
Support: A tripod is essential for those low-light forest shots!
Staying Over?
Premier Inn Marlborough hotel
If you’re traveling from further away, Andy has recommended to use the Premier Inn Marlborough hotel. It’s just a 5-minute drive from our meeting point, making that early start much easier!
