I think the best advice from this video, which many amateur photographers seem to be unaware of, is "Bad weather is good weather." My favorite lighting is in the late afternoon/early evening when the sky is moderately overcast -- not solid gray, but overcast enough so that there are only slight shadows. I leave the color balance on auto, and in Photoshop a custom color temperature of around 4800 to 5200 usually seems to work well. If I use cloudy or shade, the resulting colors look way too warm.
Great tips. I think the best advice is just to get outside and make the most of each trip. You may go with one purpose in mind but be mindful enough and open to those unexpected possibilities - the key is to get out, use the gear and try things. Be creative while the Fall season is passing because it goes quickly and colors change from week to week.
I love shooting in the Fall as well. It's such a target rich environment, there are so many outstanding photos available. The challenge is to find them in the viewfinder! These are great ideas and inspirational as well. I always find your videos worth watching.
I used to set my WB to auto, but now I set my white balance so that my LCD matches what I see. The histogram is based on what the LCD is showing. If your LCD doesn't resemble something close to the actual scene, you could be blowing out one the RGB without knowing. This is specially true for the Red histogram. It's usually not critical unless you're shooting in places like Bryce Canyon, Fall colors, sunrise/sets, etc. Great video as usual!
I think you can wing it if you live right next to a great location that you don't have to travel to. Then you can just wake up every morning and see what it's like at sunrise or just go there every evening and see what it's like at sunset. If you are travelling somewhere specifically for fall colors then planning it to make sure the foliage is right at the time that you go is important.
Thank You for the great checklist to plan and visualize before going. It is a great time to have a camera in hand at anytime. Not to cause any lack of sleep but with some cameras the night is as bright as day (almost) but on a clear or whispery cloudy night you get a vertical Milky Way before midnight just a few nights after a full moon to just a few nights before a full moon and the fall colors at night can make a foreground pop. Also with some moonlight a valley of fall colors and stars above are stunning. PA Grand Canyon is awesome with the contrast but bring bear spray!! Sometimes fields will be full of deer at night and the contrast of colors I have seen in the smokies while at campgrounds with people all in bed. LED light color temp is the same as moon light shining off the moon and a cloudy night is a natural softbox.
Photography is my Passion since i was 15. I’ve never stopped learning but the things I learned within the last year from you took me very big step in another beautiful way! Thanks for that!
Thanks for all the tips, Mark! I live in Western North Carolina also and the colors are just amazing! Thank you for always sharing your knowledge! You always make me think about what I am doing before I click the shutter!
Great tips Mark! Living in PA, I’m definitely going to be intentional with planning my fall shooting trips…Also wanted to give you a shoutout. I’ve only been a photographer hobbyist for a little more than a year having recently retired from a marketing career, and your channel is my favorite. For me, I think it is because you have not been a photographer your entire professional life. Your passion and fresh perspective on photography comes through in your videos. Thanks!
One of the things I love most about photography, as a serious hobby, is the fact that - instead of being aggressively competitive - so many pros and serious amateurs enjoy sharing their knowledge and experience with everyone else. Make the wonderful world of photography a better place, for everybody! On ##3, one thing I love about "bad" weather is getting in there, while there are still heavy grey clouds, but the rain has stopped. The rain has washed all the micro particles out of the air, the air couldn't get clearer, and it's a stunning time to take a landscape shot - with the last of the clouds that caused it, still forming the sky, but the light coming in from behind the photographer, lighting up the foliage. Wet leaves, too - the perfect time to capture them! ##5 - do you shoot with two cards? Can you set one to RAW and the other to JPG/standard white balance? It's an interesting experiment - much of the time, there's no difference, sometimes the RAW beats the JPG, and sometimes the JPG beats the RAW image!
You are so right about that weather. I get excited when it's going to be cloudy all day because I can always find something to shoot weather it be wildlife or landscapes. When the sun gets to high it can ruin it all. I'm going to New River Gorge N. P. the third week of October to shoot some waterfalls after a few days in the Smokies , I hope to get some of those cloudy days then. Great video!
Thanks, Mark! Very helpful advice. I noticed that this weekend should be good for the Wasatch Mountains in Utah. I always love the retro items on your desk - the VHS tape and Sony Walkman. Ha! Ha!
Last year I really spent just getting to know the basics of photography without really planning locations or subjects. This year, I'm so excited to apply what I've learned towards my favorite time of the year. Thanks as always for the helpful tips, Mark!
hi Mark, thanks for the vid, as I have been watching for some time I have built up a calendar of events and changes within the landscape (mainly on your advice) for now in the U.K. its fungi season, lots of the stuff coming in as the weather changes and the trees are not replacing but losing foliage, So after fungi its waterfalls in the Lake District within the next two weeks to grab the colours and due to the rain a decent flow rate. you are a great inspiration, once again Thanks.
Great video as per usual Pal... Autumn has been a bit of a let down for me over the years, I have this vision in my head which rarely matches reality... the advice about bad weather being good weather is a mantra that has kept me going for years.. Bad conditions don't exist in landscape photography , theres always a shot .. Well done man
Went to Blackwater Falls State Park yesterday for some scouting. Some color change is happening there which just makes me excited for the weeks to come!
I live in California and will be headed to Asheville area to shoot fall colours the first week in Oct so this video is timely for me. Thanks for the great advise and reminders. love the T shirt.
Mark, thank you again for our 1-on-1 video chat from a couple weeks ago. As always, this was a GREAT video - tipping all of us off on the foliage prediction map is a game changer! Going to be very helpful in picking the right time to go to a fairly distant location I have in mind for this season.
Very good advice, Mark! Thank you for putting this together for us. It is so clever of you to have your room lighting in orange. Spot on for this Fall foliage vlog.
Heading to VT for a wedding at the end of September and tagging on an extra week for the fall colors. Great tips. I don't get much of this here in Southern California, so this will be a treat.
Like you I had always just trusted the auto white balance until yesterday. I struggling to understand why the image on the back of my camera was not even close to what I was actually seeing while walking down a heavily forested path with lots of overhead foliage and rays of sunlight streaming through. The color palate was way off. First I checked the metering, which didn't have much effect. Then I got the insight to adjust the white balance and sure enough that was what was off. The auto white balance seems to do very well on my Sony A7R3 in bright light conditions, but in low light or high contrast scenarios, not so well.
Go local. For me this is the strategy this year. I checked a forest all year round and now I have a pretty good idea where and what can be shot. So my plan is to go to that specific location every couple of days. Have no clue if is going to work (which is not really an issue as I am not a professional) but at least will give me a good amount of time outside. 🙂 The best thing about this is that the forest is 10 minutes from home. Anyway, great one Mark. I have a pretty decent polarizer but actually I did not include it in my photography routine. Usually I simply forget about it.
A lot of good advice in this video. I live in NW Wisconsin, the lake effect from Lake Superior makes for color changes a different times and not just one big wave from north to south. So I go to State or more local color forecast websites for stages of color. Also, I don't use auto WB anymore, I now set my color temp using the Kelvin scale and get closer than auto white balance.
Your images really resonate with me. My wife’s family use to have a family home in Cashiers NC and we would take a trip up there when the leaves were changing. I generally shot film, medium format, and got a number of great shots. Thanks for the post.
Enjoyed the video, thanks for the advice. Fall is my favorite time of year, not just because I love to photograph it but also because it gets so hot where I live that I'm stuck indoors for most of the summer. Really looking forward to getting out and doing some landscape shooting.
As always I found your video very entertaining and informative as well. In my City, Kolkata, during Autumn and Winter, beauty comes in a different way, and in these two seasons are my favourite for photography. In autumn we celebrate our Biggest festival Durga Puja...If you can come to Kolkata at the time of Durga Puja you will witness the celebration...
Hi Mark, I received my Shimoda Explore V2 recently. What a beast of a bag. Saw it first on your review video. That video was great, I bought it through your link and I thank you for the heads up about it. I will be taking the bag on it's first journey this weekend when I travel to Anza-Borrego State Park to take sunset and Milky Way photos. Thanks again for making me aware of such a great piece of kit.
Great tips Mark, looking forward to this fall after last year, I’m in New England they are saying because of the amount of rain we had it should be awesome . Have a great season.
Leaving Friday to photo and fish in Northwest Ontario. No roads, no trails, all by boat. Foreground tends to be water, and the photos can get repetitive. I used a similar app to plan our Oregon coast / Cascades trip in about a month.
Very helpful, not only did I get away when one but with several tips. Thanks so much. I share equal excitement for fall colors as you do and can’t wait! Cheers from the North Cascades, WA!
Ahahahaha.... be true Marck. Clear sky be bad day for landscape photographers. Many thanks for this video. I think that every season has its own peculiarity. the important thing is to know how to make the most of what it has to offer. I like them all, because each one offers different opportunities. Perhaps the one I like least is summer. But only because, in the area of Italy where I live, it is very hot and humid😆😆😆
My biggest problem is planning because I get really excited in the summer to do fall photos and then I usually have a dip in my mental energy come fall just due to the reality of bipolar, and if I don't plan it beforehand and have a plan of action set up (packed duffel bag, equipment pre-calibrated), I'll just say forget it, I'm going back to bed. Once I get out there, I can find something to photograph. I'm great at just winging it while I'm there, so that part of winging it works for me sometimes. But if I don't have a plan, I don't go.
Hey Mark, thanks for the great advice! It helped me this year for sure! Especially on the “Not winging it” and the “Frame it up”. Makes a big difference. I did have a question though. There are certain compositions i love, where the main subject might be the stream by a set of trees in peak color. Is it ok to not get the full tree in frame? I struggle with this because i think you should, but then i would have to do a really wide angle and the subject, i feel, gets lost. I would love to get your take on that. Thanks again for all the great vids, keep em coming 😎
Thanks for the video! I've got so much going on that I completely forgot about my fall color trips! This is the perfect reminder that I need to break out my calendar and start looking! I like your videos. Keep them up!
Sadly there is no fall colour map available in the UK. Here in Devon we also don't have very many public deciduous woodlands either. I love shooting in Autumn, but locations are very limited.
I find that the UK autumn is so dependent on micro-climates anyway. Last November parts of the Peak District still had amazing colour when there was woodland in Northamptonshire where the trees were basically barren. And then even if there is good colour, one big winter storm off the Atlantic and it’s all gone 🤦🏼♀️
I like your content and your friendly presentation. I'm in mid-Michigan and I don't have to take a trip to see fall color, it comes to us, from north to south. Fall color maps are a big deal here: the local news stations keep us posted. Right now we're having glorious weather, after a hot summer (like everywhere). We're still all green. Who knows what the weather will be like when the color gets here. Fingers crossed.
The first and only photography competition i won was an inter school competition and the topic was autumn they held it almost when monsoon ended and everything was green 🙂🤦🏻
Im gonna miss my peak season here in northern Ontario Canada. Gone to Greece till the end of September, but im sure ill have lots of epic photography opportunities so I shouldn't complain haha . Great video Mark. Love your channel, always learning something new in every video. as a new photographer this channel is pure gold!!! Thanks for all the awesome videos sharing your wealth of knowledge
Good vlog Mark and timing is perfect with fall approaching. I think we are going to have an early fall this year up here in South Central Ontario but looking forward to getting out there. Great tips. I like that you show with and without to show the difference. Pretty sure that was Gavin H in that first wee clip showing his excitement. LOL
I am headed through RMNP to Vail CO next week for 1 week then to western and southwest CO to visit 3 more NP's. So excited about the beautiful time of year! Hiking and hope to get some worthwhile images. Have to compromise with my husband so can't plan every detail for photography:)
Mark I appreciate your work and have a suggestion for a future topic! I struggle with knowing the best export settings I Lightroom. Some images are just posted on the Internet. Others I send to Bay photo to make enlarged prints! I sometimes shoot family photos out in natural settings and send the family electronic images for them to use. I have other photographer friends who are also struggling with this! You do a great job of breaking things down and teaching so I thought it was a great topic for you! Thanks, Randy
I love to shoot winter, spring and autumn. Summer is for location scouting... As I live in Sweden autumn is just the peaceful kind of photography you need before winter. Finding compositions and framing your shots is difficult enough without having to fight of polar bears with one hand;))
Getting married during peak fall color this year.. but not going on a honeymoon. Aka the week off afterwards will be spent going to state parks all around me to capture fall foliage!
QUICK QUESTION: What's your favorite season to shoot in?
Late fall I would say when there is alot of cloudy days.
I love fall
Where I'm from we don't have season's that extraordinary but as long as we have a great n amazing weather
@@brentolsenthanksformaking2528 Me to, the best of the four...
Without question, fall.
In case no one has mentioned it, I love the look of your room. I feel like it has really developed since I first started watching you.

I usually check fall foliage looking out the window, much faster!
I think you can wing it if you live right next to a great location that you don't have to travel to.

If you are travelling somewhere specifically for fall colors then planning it to make sure the foliage is right at the time that you go is important.
I also look at when a type of tree will colour. For example a oak. When I'm in the field during the year I try to see where those grow.
Fall is my favorite time
That polarizer example was smashing!

Omg is that Silver Creek Falls in Oregon at 2:07 ??? That's less than an hour from where I live its absolutely beautiful

Great advice once again. I grew up in New England and love the fall colors.
I found your videos are always giving out useful tips on photography. Thank you so much.
Beautiful orange coloration in your room.
Thanks for sharing this, and did enjoy the tips. I live in New Hampshire where we have colorful, fall seasons. Will apply what I learned today.
All about the composition. Do we need to gather & put the leaves on the rocks if need be?
About to head up to Northern California soon for some local fall colors in early October! This couldn’t have come at a better time.
Great tips, I’ll be using these over the next few weeks.
Hi Mark, I received my Shimoda Explore V2 recently. What a beast of a bag. Saw it first on your review video.

FALL!! Thanks Mark for the great tips...greatly appreciated!
Great tips Mark, looking forward to this fall after last year, I’m in New England they are saying because of the amount of rain we had it should be awesome . Have a great season.
Crabtree Falls, I was there a few weeks ago.
Always enjoy your videos and find them helpful.
Fall, then Spring
Great advice and great images! That first waterfall looked like Mingo Falls in Cherokee, NC. Thanks so much!
Great tips, thank you for making this one!
I live in North Texas. Fall is one day sometime in November or December and if you blink you missed.
Learning so much from your videos! Thanks, Mark!
Great shoot of Gavin by the waterfall>
Leaving Friday to photo and fish in Northwest Ontario. No roads, no trails, all by boat. Foreground tends to be water, and the photos can get repetitive.
I used a similar app to plan our Oregon coast / Cascades trip in about a month.
I found usefull advice was planning , plan the right time

Ahahahaha.... be true Marck. Clear sky be bad day for landscape photographers.
Many thanks for this video.
I think that every season has its own peculiarity.
the important thing is to know how to make the most of what it has to offer.
I like them all, because each one offers different opportunities.
Perhaps the one I like least is summer. But only because, in the area of Italy where I live, it is very hot and humid😆😆😆
Great content. Love Fall too! Wish we had more of it in Houston.
My biggest problem is planning because I get really excited in the summer to do fall photos and then I usually have a dip in my mental energy come fall just due to the reality of bipolar, and if I don't plan it beforehand and have a plan of action set up (packed duffel bag, equipment pre-calibrated), I'll just say forget it, I'm going back to bed.

Great link to Fall Foliage Map!! Thanks
Sadly there is no fall colour map available in the UK. Here in Devon we also don't have very many public deciduous woodlands either. I love shooting in Autumn, but locations are very limited.
Move!
I find that the UK autumn is so dependent on micro-climates anyway. Last November parts of the Peak District still had amazing colour when there was woodland in Northamptonshire where the trees were basically barren. And then even if there is good colour, one big winter storm off the Atlantic and it’s all gone 🤦🏼♀️
Last year was gorgeous, voted by many as the best autumn for 20 years. I thought the colours were stunning. You need to venture out more.
A fantastic review of fall tips, thank you!
Fall. Great video. How about Mark's top 10 waterfalls in the Smokies.

Another great video Mark! Very informative. Can’t wait for those fall colors!
I'm with you about Autumn excitement. I can't wait to start seeing and capturing those great colors.
Great tips, great video. Thank you.
Much appreciated Steven!
I live in southern Manitoba and out peak is the last 10 days of September and I'm always hoping that the winds stay away during that time.
It's definitely stressful here in Alaska because our Fall season is about 2 weeks lol. Wish me luck!
Great tips and advise for us fledgling photographers! You rock!
Great Video with great advices. Like to watch you content. 👍👍👍
Mark I appreciate your work and have a suggestion for a future topic! I struggle with knowing the best export settings I Lightroom. Some images are just posted on the Internet. Others I send to Bay photo to make enlarged prints! I sometimes shoot family photos out in natural settings and send the family electronic images for them to use. I have other photographer friends who are also struggling with this! You do a great job of breaking things down and teaching so I thought it was a great topic for you! Thanks, Randy
Great tips as always Mark! The fall season is my absolute favorite time of year here in Colorado!
Thanks so much Tina!
I love to shoot winter, spring and autumn. Summer is for location scouting... As I live in Sweden autumn is just the peaceful kind of photography you need before winter. Finding compositions and framing your shots is difficult enough without having to fight of polar bears with one hand;))
Great work yet again! TY! Your technical knowledge combined with your enthusiasm is quite motivating!!!
Great and timely tips Mark, thanks.
Getting married during peak fall color this year.. but not going on a honeymoon. Aka the week off afterwards will be spent going to state parks all around me to capture fall foliage!
Nice! That sounds fantastic!
there are sites that provide current foliage info for many locations. don't depend on the average foliage dates. it can vary year by year,
