All through mud season, stick season, green season – the New England landscape photography awaits for that perfect day in the very short fall foliage season.

A day when foliage is at its peak and the weather is nice, the seasonal storms stay long enough to get a great shot.

It’s a crapshoot every year as a rainstorm and wind can bring a season to a quick end. Wait too long and you’ll miss it.

Each fall this time is stressful for photographers looking for the perfect way to express the colorful season without returning with dull photographs that don’t capture the wonder of nature.

Cranking saturation up to 11 won’t make up for a weakly composed photograph or a boring subject. Simply aiming your camera at a colorful tree is not going to replace a carefully studied composition with framing, leading lines, the main subject, foreground and background considerations etc.

Too often the excitement of color overwhelms the photographer with too much natural chaos that needs to be brought to order to create an all-around completed work.
