Photographing Fall Foliage
The season’s vibrant
forests filled with leaves changing colors beckons us to spend a day outdoors
with camera in hand. Taking time to
enjoy nature can inspire us in several ways and influence our photography in
positive ways.
Each time of day offers
advantages and challenges, but many pros agree that shooting in the late
afternoon – when your shadow is taller than you are – is a great time to
photograph the great outdoors. Early mornings are also excellent, although
you’ll need to decide if morning dew adds to your composition or simply
complicates things. And don’t let
overcast skies deter you, either – the clouds can help emphasize the vibrancy
of leaves and other changing foliage.
