a flash because its light will reflect off of walls and surfaces and light up your subject. For this reason, if possible, shoot in areas that offer an overhead light (such as a window). If this option isn’t available, make sure there is enough gray in your background so that nothing appears too dark.
See Close and Far Away. When taking pictures outside, try to include wide shots as well as close-ups. The fall offers many different landscapes, so take pictures of small details as well as the view from afar. Whether you shoot trees that are just beginning to turn colors or the whole forest ablaze with colors, you’ll be able to capture more than one view of the fall season.
Compose for Impact. When taking pictures of fall, make sure you include the subject in the center of your frame. Many people worry that focusing on the subject will make the photo look too busy or out of focus, but it’s important to center your focus point in order to get a sharp image. If the object is off-center, things looking blurry can detract from the image
