It's pretty tough not to get a beautiful picture. Still, there's always room for improvement.      My son, David, took these pictures during a trip to New Hampshire and Vermont that included a select group of photo enthusiasts.      I'll be using David's beautiful photos to offer some suggestions you can use in your own photography.      I hope you'll find these tips useful.                                                                             Good shooting!                                               Dale Tip #1: Follow the Mist     One of the best times to take Fall pictures is in the early morning when mist is in the air. The Rule of Thirds is Used Vertically With the Image Cut in Half Horizontally             A Meandering Road Leads the Eye Through and Into the Composition    Mist mutes color. Notice how David has used the mist's softness to create a feeling of serenity in each picture. The Lifting Morning Mist Frames This Composition From Above Tip #2: Use Perspective    Perspective creates strong images and carries the viewer's eye into your pictures. The Angles From the Rails and Water Bring All Visual Elements Together Mild Perspective Gives A Sense of Size to the Covered Bridge Tip #3: Take Advantage of Water's Unique Visual Qualities Water is exciting in its movement ... An Exposure Time of 1.5 Seconds On A Tripod  ... and its ability to reflect brilliant Fall colors. A Tripod Helped Produce a Needle-Sharp Picture at 1/60th of a Second Tip #4: Take Advantage of Water's Unique Visual Qualities Peacham, Vermont    City dwellers tend to think of towns, farms, and countryside as separate entities. This picture brings all of these elements together as a single image. The yellowing trees identify the time of year. Tip #5: Use Color Combined With Pattern For Strong Compositions    Color can delineate and highlight your main subject. Try using background colors to emphasize interesting shapes in your center of interest. You'll get very impressive pictures. Here subtle background colors and shape bring out the strong visual pattern of the barn. This composition uses an enhanced blue sky to give a dramatic look to the pure white steeple. Tip #6: Take Pictures of Manmade Structures That Have Strong Design Elements    People build beautiful shapes everywhere. Here are some good examples of how David mixed nature with aesthetically pleasing structures. Note the repeating pattern on the Bridge. The Fence Design Adds Interest to This Picture Within the Repeating Shapes are Textures and Colors The Color and Shadows from the Tree and the Symetry of the Building Make a Great Composition The Leaves Are Turning Fall colors look super-impressive on prints.
