Autumn is the favorite season of photographers, and we understand them. The light is very low and extends horizontally, while it descends vertically in summer. We are completely immersed in that light and the colors are beautiful, the perfect time to take pictures!
The tourist season ends, many castles have already closed their doors to reopen next year. However, other castles are still open and it’s the perfect time to enjoy them without too many people around you, which allows you to especially enjoy the visits and take photos with exceptional brightness.
