Nifty ideas/tips for fall photo projects?
Fall has up and arrived – kamikaze leaves crash down on unsuspecting passersby, leaf peeping is a thing again, and reports of rumbles coming from the Great Pumpkin in its far-off pumpkin patch have spread throughout the nearby towns and villages.
Any time of year is a great time to take a photograph, but fall is, of course, at least twenty times more so. I'm in the mood for some fall photography fun – Only problem is, I don't know what to do, or what to snap pictures of.
Could you help me out here? What are some tips for taking fantastic fall photos, and are there any bright ideas floating out there for nifty fall photography projects?
Here's a nifty bunch of tips for taking better photos of autumn leaves and foliage (and we've seen some great stuff around the forums already!), but is there anything else? Anything you usually like to shoot in the fall, or any special projects that you know of for photograph-loving folk? Great ideas will probably end up in the Photojojo newsletter, so we'd love it if you share.

If you've got an underwater casing for your camera, it'd be cool to put it on a self-timer and face it up inside the bucket during apple bobbing. Bet you'd get some pretty crazy shots!

Maybe take a picture of the same tree everyday for the next month of a half, standing in the same spot and trying to take the picture around the same time. One of my favorite parts about when I used to work at a Botanical Garden is working there every other day and noticing all the changes...or if it was a holiday week, coming back and trying to pick out the differences.

I like Alicia's suggest. Setting up a camera shot from a specific window or on an old tree stump in the yard, and every day or two capturing a shot at the same time of day. That would be a wonderful long term time lapse.

That's really a pretty nifty suggestion. One of the child-initiated projects that had over time become a part of the culture of my old preschool classroom, I remember, was quite similar to this.
We had one tree out in the middle of our playground and – basically over a whole year – kids had documented it's growth and changes. We have a display now with photographs showing the tree in the different seasons... Fall, winter, spring, summer....
It's truly a wonderful thing to see, something that forces you to think about the "bigger picture" of time, instead of being solely preoccupied in today.

Man, I so cant wait for the fall colors to get going in full swing so I can take my Kodachrome out for some walkabout shooting. That stuff is gonna be brilliant!

I am SO stealing that idea! I just gotta figure out how to make it work with my Canon K2. . . .

How about a water proof cover (saw some on Amazon) and a remote, GB!?

Yeah, I like that idea too. Might be a good excuse to get the underwater camera from the PJJ store that Tufteach got. Tufteach, I loved your photos from that. They reminded me a little of the Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim photos.

i like using Flash During The Day Flash isn’t just for night time. When I first discovered this tip for daylight photography, I almost fell out of my chair! A flash helps to eliminate dark shadows on your subject. A picture with less shadows looks much better than one with dark subjects you can’t see. Another one: get the perfect candle-blowing image – Everytime This secret tells you how to get the perfect shot for any action scene (like a child blowing out a candle). You won’t need to settle for the ‘too soon’ or ‘too late’ shot again

If you happen to be near Asheville, NC, the Biltmore Estate is a wonderful place for fall pictures. We got married there in November and the colors were incredible. After the wedding we decided to preserve bridal bouquets.
