September is a transitional month where summer ends and autumn begins. It's a time when temperatures gradually drop, and you can feel the changes in natural landscapes and light.
Here, we have picked 10 recommended subjects to photograph in September, offering ideas to capture the essence of autumn in your photos.
Cosmos Flower Fields
The first flower that comes to mind in autumn is the 'cosmos.' They bloom from September to October, spreading their pink and white flowers across fields. While capturing their vibrant colors in direct sunlight is great, aiming for a backlit shot during sunset can create a magical atmosphere.
Try using a wide-angle lens to capture the entire flower field or focus on a single cosmos with a prime lens for a striking photo.
Sunrise and Sunset Skies
The autumn sky is particularly beautiful, with sunrise and sunset offering prime photography opportunities. During the magic hour, before sunrise or after sunset, the gradient from blue to orange is stunning.
Using a wide-angle lens to emphasize the expanse of the sky can capture a dreamlike landscape. Take advantage of the clear air unique to autumn, with its rapid weather changes, to enhance your photos.
Cluster Amaryllis
The 'cluster amaryllis,' a September tradition, is known for its vivid red color. These flowers stand out in nature, often found between trees or along rivers. When photographing, use a macro lens to capture the flower's details or a wide-angle lens to contrast them with the surrounding nature. The contrast between the green background and red flowers creates a unique and beautiful photo.
Susuki and Autumn Scenery
The plant 'susuki,' symbolic of autumn, is also a recommended subject for September. The silver plumes swaying in the wind evoke the arrival of autumn. Capturing the moment when the plumes shine in backlight can create a magical effect.
Additionally, by using susuki as the foreground and capturing distant mountains or sunsets as the background, you can create a photo with depth.
Buckwheat Flowers
Buckwheat flowers also reach their peak in September. Capture a wide buckwheat field with a wide-angle lens or focus on the flower's details with a macro lens.
The white or pale pink flowers harmonize with the autumn blue sky, creating a simple yet captivating shot. Consider venturing into the buckwheat field to challenge yourself with a dynamic composition of flowers and sky.
Rice Paddy Scenery
September is the season when rice ears glow golden. The fields before harvest are beautiful photography spots. Especially during sunrise or sunset, the rice ears bathed in light create a scene reminiscent of a golden sea.
Use a wide-angle lens to capture the vast rural landscape or a telephoto lens to zoom in on a part of the rice ears.
September is a special month where summer and autumn coexist. Capture the natural landscapes and changes in flora unique to this time of year with your camera, and feel the arrival of autumn. Venture out to find new subjects and create your own autumn story through photography.
