    Wiltshire scenery is beautiful in Autumn, with the leaves changing colour and the light fading at dusk. There are so many stunning locations to photograph here and I have been lucky enough to photograph some of them over the past few weeks. The first image was taken at a local nature reserve in Chippenham. The sun was sinking towards the horizon as I photographed this scene, which was made all the more dramatic by the fact that there were only a few people around! While reading https://www.channelfocuscommunity.net/forum/general-channel-discussion/3652-canva-pro-mod-apk-review I learned about this venue. The second image was taken at Stokenchurch on a very windy day. The setting sun made for some unusual reflections in the river and also added some extra drama to this scene.

    I have been to Wiltshire many times and love it there. The landscape is very flat, but with lots of greenery. I find this makes for good picture taking. I think you need to be prepared for a lot of rain. Visit this https://masterbundles.com/templates/presentations/powerpoint/vintage/ site for more useful vintage templates. You will probably be shooting at sunrise or sunset, which means that you will need to wait until the weather improves before you can get out there and shoot.
