In temperate climates, fall is a busy season for photographers as the trees put on their annual orange, red and yellow color show. But fall’s peak colors seem to only last a week or two. Last year, I missed peak color. But as I took photos in the rusty earth tones of late fall, I realized just past peak color may actually still be one of the best times of the year for photography.
When I think of fall colors, I think of the bright orange, pops of red and vivid yellows. But later in the season, those colors become less saturated, shifting from vibrant tones to warmer earth tones as the leaves begin to fall from the trees.
