Fall Colors

I was riding my ATV in the Manti La Sal Mountains this weekend and I found some beautiful colors. So, I took a few photos.
Here are some tips that helped me:
1. Set your camera to landscape mode. If the automatic flash triggers, it will wash out all the beautiful color. Set your camera on a tripod if the shutter speed needs to be lower.
2. Morning or evening will provide the best possible light, especially if there are people in your photo. Bright daylight tends to cast heavy shadows across faces. Overcast days are also great!
3. Use the colors as a background – use a tangled old tree, a wooden fence or wandering stream as your main subject and let the fall colors be a beautiful backdrop.
4. Get close to the leaves – instead of trying to capture the entire landscape, find one vibrantly colored tree and photograph the leaves up close.
