Fall leaves looking flat? Add a polarizer and rotate it until the glare on the leaves fades. Then expose for the bright leaves, not the dark trunks. A dark file is easy to fix, a blown-out one isn't. www.viewbug.com/blog/how-to-... #FallPhotography

Got the low angle on that mushroom. Also got a puddle in places I didn't know puddles could reach. Worth it? Ask me after laundry. 🍂 The VIEWBUG Close Up Photo Contest is open: www.viewbug.com/contests/clo... #PhotographyHumor #FallPhotography

Fall color tip: orange leaves pop most against their opposite. Frame one orange branch against a deep blue sky instead of filling the frame with color. Contrast beats saturation. www.viewbug.com/blog/photogr... #FallPhotography

Two seconds. I stepped away from the tripod for two seconds, and the fall wind had been waiting all day. 🍂 Got leaves on the move this season? Show us in the VIEWBUG Autumn Leaves Photo Contest: www.viewbug.com/contests/aut... #FallPhotography #PhotographyHumor

Fall tip: get down to mushroom eye level. From standing height fungi look tiny, but at ground level they become little worlds. Go right after rain, when caps glisten and the light is soft. 🍄 www.viewbug.com/knowledge/ho... #NaturePhotography #FallPhotography

Fall morning tip: let the rising sun just clip the edge of a tree and stop down to f/11–f/16 for a starburst. Morning mist and dew add extra glow. Use a lens hood if flare gets messy. www.viewbug.com/knowledge/go... #FallPhotography #LandscapePhotography

Fog usually burns off within 1–2 hours of sunrise. Be set up 30–45 minutes before first light, so you're shooting, not scouting, when it starts to glow. More foggy morning settings: www.viewbug.com/knowledge/fo... #FogPhotography #LandscapePhotography

Wildlife tip: a perched bird only needs about 1/400 to 1/800s. Once it takes off, jump to 1/1600s or faster, or the wing tips will blur. Fall migration is a great time to practice. www.viewbug.com/knowledge/bi... #WildlifePhotography #BirdPhotography
