Well how many of you plan to bring your camera's with you this fall?
That's a silly question right? How many would consider not taking dozens if not hundreds of pictures of the impressive fall colors. In most cases you have made lots of plans but when you get out there on the first day you just start shooting all the beautiful colors and when you go home and get the prints back or see them on your computer, you find something is lacking?

How's everybody's plan for fall foliage going?
So far, we've had to think about what you want to see, where you want to see it and having a backup agenda in case you?re not finding the elusive peak. Also, I've mentioned a little about lodging and how you should plan for this real early!

Planning your route, go with the crowds or go it alone?
Ok, so now you have decided on what you want to see and where you're heading. Now let's get more specific and actually start thinking about routes. If you are coming in early October you will be thinking more northerly and by Columbus Day weekend you will be in the mid-NH/VT/ME areas to southern areas and Northern Mass, although last year this weekend was particularly colorful in the Barre to Sturbridge Mass area. After this weekend the color quickly moves south but remember if you have reservations and can't change them then you may have to be flexible enough to look for areas near lakes if the color is running early or higher elevation if it's running late.

Greetings Foliage Seekers!
I'm going to start this now because it always comes up. I'm sure you want to make sure you hit right at the peak of fall color. As a photographer I want the same thing and I have to tell you that over the years, sometimes I've been successful and other years I haven't.
