Photographing Fall Colors
It’s that time of year to go out and take pictures of the Fall foliage as it changes to beautiful reds, yellow and oranges.
To help you get the most out of your shooting, I’ve pulled together the following links.
For Arizona
http://www.flagstaffwebcam.com/Leaf-O-Meter – You have to love a site called Leaf-O-Meter. They put up photos of leaves changing color in different areas around Flagstaff that are sent in by visitors to their site. They also have a link to self-guided tours.
http://www.flagstaffwebcam.com/fall-foliage-guided-tour – This site lists some good places to go to get photographs of the leaves changing color in and around Flagstaff.
http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/coconino/recreation/fall-colors/sandra-klotz.shtml – This Coconino National Forest site explains why leaves change colors, what trees produce what colors, and hikes to see this wonder of nature.
http://www.fs.fed.us/r3/coconino/recreation/fall-colors/aspen-watch.shtml – Every week photographs are added showing how the leaves are changing color, from the same four locations in Hart Prairie. Old photos are left up so you can see the changes, week by week.
For the rest of the country
http://www.weather.com/maps/activity/fallfoliage/index_large.html – The Weather Channel has a map of the U.S. showing where the leaves are changing colors.
There’s a National Fall Color Hotline too 1-800-354-4595. Call this number and choose the area of the country you’re interested in and get information on leaf color, scenic drives, peak times for the colors, other fall activities.
I hope you get some fantastic photographs this year.
Have Fun,
Jeff

I like browsing your site for the reason that you can constantly bring us new and cool stuff, I think that I must at least say a thank you for your hard work.

Thanks for an idea you sparked, thought from a angle I hadn’t given thought to yet. Now lets see if I can do something with it.

Impressive write-up, I am a big fan of submitting responses on blogs and discussion boards to help you the website authors know that they’ve got some factor worthwhile to the whole web.

Hi,
You can make your own website and sell with PayPal or a shopping cart like http://www.picturespro.com/pages/photography_shopping_cart/ or you can put your work on a site like http://www.photoshelter.com/ or http://www.photodeck.com/.
Your advertising/marketing really depends on your clients and where you can contact them. Online, magazine articles, local presentation or other places.
Thanks for commenting.
Have Fun,
Jeff
