Putting together a beautiful Autumn composition usually isn’t difficult when the colors of the changing season are peaking. The falling leaves especially make waterfall pictures more interesting, as you can see in a few of the photos featured in this post.
A few helpful tips:
- Test out a variety of long exposures to find which one works best for the water movement you’re looking for.
- Take advantage of the fall colors and the leaves on the ground (and water) to make your waterfall photo stand out.
- Invest in a polarizer. Read this post by DPS about why you must have one.
