Each autumn the hills of New England put on a spectacular show! The hills of green burst into color as reds, oranges and yellows play across the countryside while the fall air turns crisp. We’ll meander through tiny villages and the White Mountains of New Hampshire, soaking it all in. Each year, we include a visit to a stream in New Hampshire where we conduct a mini-workshop designed to teach you how to get those silky “flowing water” shots. We set aside time in the evening to review and gently critique our images as we relax in anticipation of the next day’s activities. We’ll visit covered bridges, quaint country stores and restaurants, tiny villages - all part of the New England experience. Because the timing of the peak foliage color can vary by 1-2 weeks every year, we’ll determine the exact route the week just before the tour, but we’ll be staying in southern New Hampshire at the same hotel for both Friday and Saturday nights. Some of the sites we’ll visit include the beautiful Flume and Gorge in Franconia Notch, Cannon Mountain, and the Kangamangus Highway.

Work with the light. Create a perfect composition that will grace your portfolio for years to come. You’ll relish giving your camera a thorough wokout! We drive caravan-style through the back roads of New Hampshire, connected by cell phones and hand-held radios so we can call out a “photo stop!” if we see something we want to capture. We’ll do some light hiking through the woods so we can slow down and really enjoy the experience as we explore, stopping to shoot more images along the way. Your guide, Charlie MacPherson, is an accomplished wildlife and nature photographer, writer and speaker. He’s a native New Englander and knows this region thoroughly - he’s been photographing these fall colors for 40 years, and he thoroughly enjoys sharing his knowledge with tour guests. No matter where the peak foliage is, he’ll get you there and in to the best shooting positions! FAQs When do your Foliage tours run? Every year during October. The peak colors move from north to south and from higher altitudes to lower throughout the month. We plan our tour route to catch up with the peak. What camera gear do you recommend for this trip? Almost any camera will do. For DSLR users, we suggest a good wide angle to catch broad swaths of color and a medium zoom, roughly in the 50mm - 200mm range for other shots. Macro lenses could be fun too. What do I need to capture the “flowing water” shots you mentioned? A good tripod and neutral density filters. We use B+W filters and bring both 3-stop and 8-stop filters. You can rent variable ND filters and tripods from our friends at www.LensProToGo.com. What is the weather like? October temperatures can run from the low 50s to mid 70s, so dressing in layers that you can remove as the day warms is always a good idea. Rain is a possibility any day, so consider rain covers or trash bags to keep your camera gear dry. How do we get around? We each drive our own cars and stay connected via hand-held radios and cell phones as we drive. I have more questions. Can we talk? Absolutely! Call Charlie’s cell at 781-470-9111 (EST).
