A large number of photographers prefer going for foliage photography.
There are enough reasons for this. It’s quite difficult to get the wide
range of colors that foliage offers in any other form of nature
photography. Besides, while taking photograph of foliage, it is possible
for you to go for landscape snaps as well as close range pictures. This
really comes in handy when you are planning to explore various
photography techniques. However, you need to keep a few things in mind when you are planning foliage photography.
Find the Right Location
Location is probably the most important thing
that you need to keep in mind when planning foliage photography. You
have to find the right place where colors are found in plenty. It is
always a good idea to start clicking the photos from the higher
altitudes. Colors are usually found aplenty there. Check out the
internet or read books on the best places that you can visit to find the
wonderful colors of autumn. You can check out the state tourism website
as well to find the details about the best places to click photographs
of foliage.
When is the Best Time?
Well, this is one of the most important
questions to ask when you are going for foliage photography. The light
plays an important role in ensuring that the photo, that you click
ultimately, comes out in a wonderful manner. However, not all places
have the same time to click pictures. You need to know when is the
perfect time to click the best pictures from that place. This surely
will help you get the best clicks from that spot.
Click from Different Ranges
Decide the distance from where you are
planning to click the pictures. If you are planning to click foliage and
if you are at the right place, you will find colors all over. Use the
long range shots initially. Then you can go for close range ones as
well. Click a single leaf with multiple colors or a number of trees that
show the colors of fall in the best possible manner. The different
ranges from where you are clicking the pictures will help to give it new
dimensions. This will surely be one of the best ways to click the
pictures. It will help you to win appreciations and besides, will surely
make the picture a perfect one.
Look for Reflections of Foliage on Water Bodies
If you are planning to click foliage images
during fall, you can get some wonderful clicks. But for that, you should
not look for forests and trees only. Instead, search for a lake with
trees surrounding it. These lakes can usually be excellent components of
foliage photography. The colorful leaves look wonderful when they
reflect in the waters of the lakes. So, you should look for such
reflections in places near to your house. Once you get such a frame for
your photo shoot, it is sure to become a big hit among the photography
experts.
Look Around as Well
If you think the colorful trees are the only
places to get the best pictures of the foliage, think again! Just keep
your eyes open and look on the forest floors. You will find a large
array of colors scattered in form of dry leaves there. Click them and
get the best pictures there.
No matter what kind of photo you are clicking
of the foliage, creativity is the key to it. It is important for you to
know from which angle you should click a picture. This is going to help
you get the best clicks of foliage photography. You can also use
digital or film camera. But make sure you remain focused during the
development of the photo to help reflect maximum colors in it. This will
make the image richer and a truer reflection of the nature outside.
