Want some pointers to improve your photography? Take a look at some of the tips Anne and I have put together for the Adorama Web site:

Find an environment that says something about your subject

Select the right elements in the environment

Set the subject in a characteristic environment

Adapt to the environment to get the best portrait

Make the environment a key feature of the portrait

Capture the mood with diffused light

Go with backlight for radiant leaves

Come in on a detail for color

Use a filter to remove glare from leaves

Saturate fall colors
