3 Fall Foliage Tips

1. Chase the Light, Not Just the Leaves 🌅

Golden hour is your best friend for vibrant, glowing colors.

• Morning light brings soft mist and saturated tones, especially around lakes and rivers.

• Evening light adds warmth and depth, perfect for mountain overlooks like Artists Bluff or Cathedral Ledge.

  Pro tip: Overcast days are amazing for shooting close-ups—no harsh shadows, just rich, even color.

2. Think Layers, Not Just Leaves 🍂

Frame your shot with a foreground, midground, and background to add depth:

• A mossy rock or winding trail in front.

• Bright trees in the middle.

• Mountains or a lake in the distance.

  This makes your photo feel like you could step right into it.

3. Timing Is Everything ⏱️

Colors peak at different elevations and regions, so follow the progression:

• Late September: The Whites & higher elevations (Kancamagus, Mount Willard).

• Early October: Lakes Region & mid-elevations.

• Mid-October: Southern NH & Monadnock Region.

  Check the foliage tracker before heading out so you don’t miss peak season.
