Capturing Fall Colors
BEHIND THE LENS
WORDS AND PHOTOS BY TERRANCE SIEMON
Fall photography is all about color — and the colors in autumn are fleeting. The leaves change at a moment’s notice, which makes timing everything if you want to capture the peak colors. Here are a few tips to make this year's photo excursion to capture fall colors stand out from seasons past.

SCOUTING Because the window for peak season is so short, knowing where you want to go to find colors is the key to a successful shoot. Before the temperatures drop and the colors change, find a place that you know will pop. Maybe last year you saw a certain aspen grove that stood out to you. When you're in the mountains in the spring or summer, keep in mind the places that you know will look good in September and October.
