In this week’s episode, we discuss the best fall landscape photography advice I've ever heard! Advice is one of those things that everyone receives, some good & some bad, but I wanted to put together this video compiling all the best fall landscape photography advice I've received over the years into a single video. All of the advice in this video pertains to the actual on-location photography process and not the post processing and editing workflow.
In this video, I break down all the best on-location fall photography advice I've received throughout the years. Some of these pieces of advice I'm sure a few of you have heard before, but my hope is that you'll uncover at least one helpful piece of advice that you can apply to your fall landscape photography moving forward. I hope you enjoy this week's video & as always thanks so much for watching! - Mark D.

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.
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!
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!
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!
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.
Great pieces of advice! Thanks. Excellent examples too!!!
Great tips, thank you for making this one!
awesome video Mark! thanks a few great tips and reminders
Great work yet again! TY! Your technical knowledge combined with your enthusiasm is quite motivating!!!
Always enjoy your videos and find them helpful.
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!
Excellent information... congratulations on making it to Oregon!!!
all tips advices are great , thank you
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.
FALL!! Thanks Mark for the great tips...greatly appreciated!
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.
Great tips Mark.Thanks
Awesome and more valuable tips for my future photography, thanks a lot bro.
Your video sure has me thinking about where I'm going to shoot later this month...thanks Mark!
Thanks for getting me excited to get out and capture the fall!
Great tips, I’ll be using these over the next few weeks.
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.
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.
thanx again Mark, very usefull
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.
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.
Great example with the polarizer and the leaves. My landscapes have markedly improved since starting to use one!
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!
Learning so much from your videos! Thanks, Mark!
Great content, as usual. Thanks, Mark!
Loving these tips! Thank you so much. I'm going to Brevard this weekend and Little Switzerland in late October and can't wait to take pics!
Excellent vid and great advice Mark, thank you!
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.
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!
Good tips Mark. Thnx
Great and timely tips Mark, thanks.
Great link to Fall Foliage Map!! Thanks
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.
I found your videos are always giving out useful tips on photography. Thank you so much.
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
A fantastic review of fall tips, thank you!
That polarizer example was smashing!
Great tips as always Mark, thanks a lot!
By the way, I got my Shimoda Explore V2 last week and am loving it. Your review is what convinced me to jump on the Kickstarter campaign and I am so glad that I caught your video on it. I think it will be my favorite backpack for a long time.
Another great video Mark! Very informative. Can’t wait for those fall colors!
That’s fantastic information Mark.
Perfect timing! I'm planning a trip to Colorado to see the Aspens change!
Great video. I never thought of using a polarizer around rocks/waterfalls, but your example is great. Thanks!
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!
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!
Well done ! Two thumbs up !
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.
Thank you for the advice Mark! I'm going to Roan Mountain at the end of September so I'll get some practice on these.
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!
Great tips and advise for us fledgling photographers! You rock!
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.
Great Video with great advices. Like to watch you content. 👍👍👍
Beautiful photo of the ground with the leaf patterns.
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!
I appreciate that Michael - thank you!
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.
Some great tips! Looks like Crabtree Falls in the polarizer section...
Great advice thanks
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!
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.
Very nice post! Inspiring to shoot!
Fall is my favorite time
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
Great content. Love Fall too! Wish we had more of it in Houston.
Great advice and great images! That first waterfall looked like Mingo Falls in Cherokee, NC. Thanks so much!
Heading to the Blue Ridge Parkway the second week of October, cannot wait ! Bringing along the new camera, xt3.
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.
Great tips as always Mark! The fall season is my absolute favorite time of year here in Colorado!
Thanks so much Tina!
Great advice once again. I grew up in New England and love the fall colors.
Going to try to remember all this when I go on a workshop in October to Ricketts Glen.
What a phenomenal informative video! Thank you so much for this great post!🍁🍃🍂
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.
Such an insightful video Mark. Great advice and tips.
Glad you think so Joel!
Great video! Looking forward to the fall this year to shoot with my new camera!
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.
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
Great shoot of Gavin by the waterfall>
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 😎
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.
Thanks for this amazing information!! Do you have a video on editing a RAW pic from start to finish?
As usual, great tips, thanks!
Thanks Michael!
I found usefull advice was planning , plan the right time
I can’t wait!
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.
Looking forward to cooler temps and fall weather this year. Got a week off around the second half of October, planning on hitting the Smokies and am hoping for some good shots.
That's a great place to be on the back end of October!
Great video Mark, some top points! Couldn’t agree more with Bad weather is good weather and the polariser 🤩 the examples you shower really proved that point. When I clicked on this video I thought it was about Waterfalls 😂 the thumbnail having waterfalls in them and as we don’t call autumn “fall” over here in Aus’. Wish we had those colours here in my state. Video topic wasn’t what I expected but still watched until the end and came away with some great learning points 😊
Fall. Great video. How about Mark's top 10 waterfalls in the Smokies.
Beautiful orange coloration in your room.
How good to have the prediction map. Here in Australia we don’t have that but it does get crowded at the popular locations. Unfortunately have missed 2 Autumns due to lockdown but I dream of getting out next Autumn to do photography. Great tips, thank you
Very useful Mark - thanks for sharing
Thank ya Steve!
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.
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...
All about the composition. Do we need to gather & put the leaves on the rocks if need be?
I love your Ansel Adams shirt!
Thanks for the great tips, Mark. I would never have known there was a fall foliage map - no could here in Australia, but useful to know nonetheless when we get the chance to travel again.
