(NC)—With the beautiful colours, and the harvest moon, autumn is the perfect time to let your inner photographer shine. To help capture those iconic fall moments, Matt Lewis, digital technology and photography professional at Black’s Photography, offers these helpful tips:

Pets and children—Short attention spans make awesome candid photography. Rake a big pile of leaves and let them go nuts. Be sure to have your camera set for action shots—or a fast shutter speed on a DSLR.

The moon and sky—That red moon that hangs low is a rare but beautiful photo opportunity. To make the most of it make sure you have a sturdy tri-pod and set your camera for a long-exposure. The tri-pod will eliminate camera shake, while the lengthy exposure time will enhance the sky’s glow.

Trees and landscapes—Trees and landscapes can be a difficult subject when there is so much colour and detail. For the best results, pick a focal point and an angle that compliments it.

“The most important tip to keep in mind when taking a photo is to capture a moment,” says Matt Lewis. “The fall is the perfect time to get outside and have fun testing out different types of equipment and lenses.”

Once you’ve captured the perfect shots, be sure to compile them into a photo book or photo album that you can share with others. Black’s PhotoBook design service allows you to choose the photos you want to include, upload them online or in-store and then leave the rest of the work up to the experts. The end result is a perfectly designed photo book capturing the best of your fall photography.
