· Golden Hour: In the fall, the sun is lower in the sky, making the "golden hour" just after sunrise and just before sunset even softer and more enchanting. With backlighting, the leaves take on a translucent golden or reddish hue, creating breathtaking scenes.
· Ideal Weather:
  · After the Rain Clears: The leaves are extra vibrant after being washed by rain, and fallen leaves on the ground are deeper in color. If you can find puddles, you can capture beautiful reflections.
  • Overcast/Sunny: The light is even and perfect for capturing the rich, nuanced colors of autumn leaves without harsh shadows.
  • After Fog or Frost: Morning fog or white frost adds a layer of tranquility and dreaminess to the forest, making it an excellent time to capture mood-filled scenes.
