The air is fresher and clearer, and the slanted sunlight causes nature&#8217;s colors to be more intense. Wherever you take your <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redweek.com\/\">timeshare rental<\/a> vacation this autumn one thing is for sure &#8211; you&#8217;ll want to try to capture the beauty of the season in pictures. <\/p>\n<p>Professional photographer Topher Donahue says that getting a good photo of fall colors has never been easy, even for pros, and that today&#8217;s digital cameras make it even harder. The film that was used in the days of point-and-shoot cameras allowed a better color saturation so that even amateurs could come up with a memorable photograph of vivid autumn colors now and then.<\/p>\n<p>Donahue offers 4 tips for making your autumn photography look better no matter what type of camera you are using. The photo (shown above) by Donahue demonstrates all four.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b>Shoot in the Shade<\/b><br \/>Shoot in the shade.  Your eyes are so much more sensitive to colour range than your camera that you are tricked into thinking you see a good photo just because you see a pleasing view.  When the leaves are sunlit, they are often so bright that the sensor cannot record the subtle colours and instead records washed-out highlights.  In the shade, natures colours \u2013 be it spring flowers or autumn leaves \u2013 are revealed to the sensor in a much more manageable hue.  Those cloudy days, or shady hillsides like in this photo, often result in better photos than the perfect bluebird morning.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li><b>Crop Other Colors into the Frame<\/b><br \/>Cameras and the human eye have one thing in common: colour is relative, not absolute.  When you include other colours in the frame, it changes how the sensor and the viewer\u2019s eye records or perceives the colour.  For this photo I looked for a place where the yellow and orange contrasted against each other to make both look better.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li><b>Include Compositional Elements, Not Just the Leaves<\/b><br \/>In this case, the ghostly aspen trunks give a sense of depth to the photo.  Including singular evergreens amidst a forest of leaves, small meadows, a stream, or even a road or trail in the frame can often help your camera record a memory and an emotion rather than a just a photograph.<\/li>\n<p><\/p>\n<li><b>Buy a Good Camera<\/b><br \/>All sensors are not created equal.  The difference between a good camera and a bad one has never been greater.  Buy the best camera you can afford at the size you&#8217;re willing to carry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Autumn is a grand time for a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redweek.com\/timeshare-rentals\">timeshare rental family vacation<\/a>, and with nature&#8217;s bounty of color, it&#8217;s also the perfect time to practice becoming a good photographer.<\/p>\n<p>For a great chance to learn and shoot alongside a professional wilderness photographer in an unbeatable setting, check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canadianmountainholidays.com\/heli-hiking\/trips\/photography-workshop\">CMH Photography Workshop<\/a> with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wildernessprints.com\/\">John E.
