Fall Photography Ideas

I have started to bring my camera along when I am shopping for produce at the local farmers market. In the fall you can always find great ideas with the displays they have for the produce. The pumpkins are an obvious choice but don't forget the bins of apples and other produce as well.

I love to go for drives in the fall. My husband will drive the country roads and we will both look for autumn photography opportunities.
Here is a tree we saw on a drive through the Missouri wine country.

Last fall we took a cruise up the east coast from New York City to Quebec City. The scenes in Quebec city were particularly beautiful. Fall was at its prime and it was great to photograph the old building surrounded in fall color. When we walked the streets of the city I also found numerous subjects for fall photography.

Be sure to take some of your photos up close. When you start looking for leaves to photograph up close you will find it "easier said then done". After a long hot summer many of the leaves take on a worn look when photographed up close. It is worth the time to search for some good looking leaves to photograph.

The reflections of fall colors on the water can make some stunning photos. Use your wide angle lens and capture both the trees and their reflection in the water.
