10 Autumn Photography Tips You Must Try This Season!

Mastering autumn landscape photography is about more than just vibrant trees. In this video, I share 10 essential tips for nature and landscape photographers to capture truly breathtaking, atmospheric, and highly saturated fall scenes. You'll learn the secret to predicting peak fall colors and which tree species change first. I'll show you how to successfully scout for fog (the 'holy grail' for forest photos) using my favorite weather apps. We cover crucial compositional tools, the power of a polarizing filter, and an editing trick using white balance to make warm colors pop. Finally, I explain why shooting on wet days is essential for saturation and how to create stunning, high-contrast black and white photos from your colorful scenes. These professional tips will dramatically improve your results this autumn.
