Fall photography quick tips from Javier Frutos, CanGeo creative director & assignment photographer |
|
“The fall is one of the best times of year to go out and enjoy photography. It’s all about light, colour and mood!”
Time: Remember, the leaves change colour almost every day, so a location that may not look so great, a week after can look stunning. The best time to shoot is early and late in the day as the sidelight brings interesting shades and textures.
Light: Thin clouds create a soft light perfect for foliage colour and foggy days make also beautiful and dramatic scenes.
Experiment: Sometimes a detail on a frosty leaf or covered with morning dew droplets will create a very appealing photograph, also water reflections always look great during the fall.
Gear: Shooting mirrorless will give you the opportunity to see in the viewfinder is exactly what you’ll get, so you can adjust the settings in real time. (My preferred gear is the Nikon Z series cameras and lenses).

Community relocations are part of the story of what has and continues to shape Canada as a country. As part of our educational project on relocations in Canada, we want to know: what does home mean to you? We’re looking for photographs that capture your personal concept of home, be it the house you grew up in, a place you visit when you need to rest and recharge, a landmark that makes your community unique, or a person who represents comfort, hope and identity.
Submit an image and tell us the story behind it for a chance to win one of three cash prizes, including the grand prize of $1,000. |
