Photographer John Webster's autumn collection In this our Autumn issue, we thought it appropriate to ask award winning photographer John Webster to give us his interpretation of this colourful season.
During the last two years John, who lives in Great Broughton North Yorkshire, has visited Wyoming and California as well as the Lake District to capture some stunning pictures, a number of which we showcase on these page. John’s “contra-jour” technique of taking pictures looking into the light makes the most of the intense colour as the trees are illuminated by the sun shining through the leaves. We present John Webster's autumn collection pictures. Click on thumbnails to view larger picture...
