Night photography of fall colors provides calm conditions and even lighting, plus the addition of starry skies.
I’ve captured long exposures of colorful fall leaves floating down streams in the past, but the concept of combining them with star trails occurred to me in 2012. When I arrived in Yosemite to find clear, starry skies, I had a lot of fun capturing leaves drifting down the Merced River. Conditions couldn’t have been more perfect. There was wind upon arrival during the day to knock the leaves out of the trees, but then it calmed down for nice sky reflections as I shot.
I lead workshops to pursue these types of shots in Yosemite… check my Yosemite schedule for details!
