In a few days (or a few weeks, depending on your exact location), you will be surrounded by the colorful foliage of autumn in the Northern hemisphere. All photographers know that this is a time to bring out the camera and start shooting. But despite this being a subject considered easy, here are a few of the Y-Tips (tips and tricks from YLovePhoto).<\/p>\n

  1. Color:<\/strong> Even if the leaves are already colored, shooting at sunrise or sunset will add a little bit more of colors and it is always more natural than blooming<\/em> it with a saturation filter in Photoshop.<\/li>\n
  2. Color:<\/strong> Green is also a color, so watch for color oppositions.<\/li>\n
  3. Polarizing filter:<\/strong> Reducing the specular light reflexion, some of the colors will be enhanced by the use of a POL-C filter.<\/li>\n

  4. Background:<\/strong> Like always, check your background and if it is not adequate be sure to open the aperture to blur it.<\/li>\n
  5. Speed:<\/strong> If there is wind, even a light one, be sure to push the shutter speed up to fix<\/em> it.<\/li>\n
  6. Speed:<\/strong> If there is a river, a stream or some other moving object, be sure to push the shutter speed down to blur them.<\/li>\n
  7. Tripod:<\/strong> If you shoot pictures under the trees, you will probably not have enough light for fast speeds, so bring your tripod.<\/li>\n
  8. Water:<\/strong> Leaves look better when covered with some water (it could be rain or some water you brought).<\/li>\n
  9. HDR:<\/strong> Many forest pictures suffer from extreme dark areas and very bright areas (specially when the subject is back-lit). It’s the right moment to try and use HDR (High Dynamic Range) techniques.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
