To get you prepared for our fun #MomentChallenge, we have some simple tips for you to follow. Grab a VND, charge your batteries, and strap on your hiking boots!

01 - Timing Is Everything. Image of a mountain top against pink clouds.

Sounds obvious, but really aim to research when and where the best fall colors are present in your area. The peak of fall color is short-lived, so be prepared to head out before chilly autumn storms knock the leaves to the ground.

Make the most out of available light whenever possible. Sunset and sunrise offer that creamy golden light that paints a beautiful glow over the landscape, be sure to time your photos around this time of day if you can.

03 - Accessorize with Filters. Image of a mountain being backlit by early morning sun.

Using either a CPL or VND filter can reduce unwarranted reflections from water, darken skies, and enhance cloud contrast — all of which will balance colors and make the whole scene more vivid.

Our tips are cool, but there’s more to learn. Tiffany Nguyen (@tiffpenguin) has the landscape game down. She's developed the perfect guide to snap gorgeous, compelling landscape photos, and she's sharing it with you. In her lesson, she shares her formula for composition, lighting, editing and more.
What's even better is that it's on sale for a limited time, so buy yours sooner than later!
