Get Ready for Autumn & Winter ’25 Photography
As the days grow shorter and the weather turns colder, Autumn and Winter bring unique opportunities for photographers. From golden leaves and crisp frosty mornings to festive night scenes, this time of year rewards those who are prepared for the conditions. With the right kit, you can stay comfortable, protect your gear, and keep shooting even when the weather has other plans.
Here are a few of our recommended accessories for making the most of your Autumn and Winter photography:
Stay Dry: Rain Protection for Your Camera
A sudden downpour doesn’t have to end your shoot. With a rain cover, you can keep your camera safe and dry while still capturing the atmosphere of a rainy day.
- Think Tank Emergency Rain Cover (Medium) – A compact, lightweight option that slips easily into your bag, ready for unexpected showers.
- OpTech Rainsleeve (x2) – An affordable, simple solution that provides instant protection and comes as a pack of two.
- Think Tank Hydrophobia D 24-70 V3 Rain Cover – Designed for professional use, this cover offers a snug, weatherproof fit for DSLR and mirrorless cameras with a 24–70mm lens attached.
Light & Warmth: Multi-Tasking Torch
Autumn and Winter often mean shooting in low light – and sometimes waiting around in the cold. The Celestron ThermoTorch 5 is a clever 3-in-1 device: a powerful torch for navigating in the dark, a rechargeable handwarmer to keep your fingers moving, and a power bank for topping up your phone or camera battery.
Power on the Go: Portable Charging
Cold weather can drain batteries faster than usual, so carrying extra power is essential. The Hama PD 20 20000mAh Fast-Charge Powerbank gives you plenty of capacity to recharge your devices while you’re out and about. Its fast-charge capability means less waiting and more shooting.
Keep Shooting: Gloves Made for Photographers
Ordinary gloves can make operating a camera tricky, but the PGYTECH Photography Gloves, Professional XL are designed with photographers in mind. They offer warmth, grip, and dexterity, with foldable fingertips so you can adjust camera settings without exposing your hands to the cold for too long.
Final Thoughts
Autumn and Winter photography can be some of the most rewarding of the year – if you’re prepared. With the right accessories, you can protect your gear, stay warm, and keep shooting whatever the weather. Whether you’re planning woodland walks, city nightscapes, or winter wildlife, these essentials will help you capture the season at its best.
