It’s all about color! Join Moose Peterson, wildlife photographer, out in the Eastern Sierras surrounded by blue skies and beautiful fall colors. Moose takes you to some of his most favorite locations and gives you the scoop on everything from gear to camera settings and shooting strategies to post-processing tips. By the end of the class you’ll be chomping at the bit to head out to capture your own stunning fall landscape photos armed with the tips and tricks from a true professional.

Introduction (13:03) Join Moose in the Eastern Sierras as he introduces the class and goes over the gear he uses.
Basic Camera Settings (09:44) There are some basic camera settings you want to configure before you start shooting.
June Lake Loop (08:37) Moose gives a walk through of the first shoot, covering everything from composing the scene to how to visualize the steps you'll take during post-production.
Shooting Through the Canopy (10:34) Color, pattern, and visual interest.
Silver Lake (05:30) When you can't use a graduated neutral density filter you can use High Dynamic Range photography techniques to capture the scene the way your eye sees it.
Choosing the Right Time to Shoot (14:14) With the aid of technology you can scout your locations before you arrive and once on site determine the best time for the desired quality of light.
Strategies (09:16) There are a number of strategies you can use for pushing your photography forward.
Using a Polarizer (09:16) A polarizing filter can be a great asset for removing reflections such as the blue color cast caused by the sky reflecting off objects in your scene.
Digging into Post-Processing (03:57) Moose shares his basic workflow in Adobe Camera Raw.
Quick Camera Raw (02:18) Another example of a quick camera raw edit.
Using the Graduated Filter (04:18) Beyond the basic workflow you can finish a photo in Camera Raw with the Graduated Filter.
Enhancing the Trail (07:43) After the basic Camera Raw workflow there are additional techniques available in Photoshop for achieving the photograph you original envisioned.
HDR Processing (07:33) Moose processes a photo using Nik HDR Efex Pro 2.
Dealing with Ghosting in HDR (10:02) One issue for shooting HDR is dealing with ghosting when you have movement, such as wave, in your exposures.
Processing HDR with Photomatix Pro (05:08) The main reason Moose uses HDR is to create photographs that appear closer to how the scene originally looked to the human eye.
Conclusion (02:37) Moose provides an overview of the lessons from the class. Stick around for the outtakes.

Great course with lots of little things to remember that add up in the end. For the things you already know it is a nice little reminder to keep you on track. Thanks Mr. Peterson.

I think this might be my favorite Moose Peterson class ever! Why? Because conditions weren't optimal, fall colors were not at their peak, but Moose showed us how to overcome all that and still produce brilliant images. Wow.

Moose's course will make me a much better fall photography this year. I particularly liked the courses on CS5 and how to use the presets to get in and out quickly. This was a great tool that all photographs that want to shoot in the fall should have in there CS5 software. I will be playing this course many, many times before I go to the UP of Michigan in early Oct for two weeks of shooting. Again a great job done by Kelby and Peterson. Jack

Excellent course. Moose Peterson presents everything clearly. If you are normally in a studio and want to improve your outdoor experience this is for you. If you shoot outdoors and want to improve your landscape technique then this is for you too. I guess it is good for everybody! Thank you Mr. Peterson!

Just finished the course and found it to be very good. Moose's approach to capturing and processing images is simple, concise and easy to follow. I learned a lot of things to improve my capture and processing of all images, not just fall color. Looking forward to more of Moose's courses in the future.

Great class Moose!!! I truly learn something new each time I watch your classes. Thanks for sharing small hints too! I like the idea of finding a higher place to shoot from when shooting wide angle to keep things straight (without having to shoot either up or down) by shooting straight across. Makes perfect sense, i just never thought about it. You always help me in ideas for shooting. Thanks for that! Keep it coming!!

Just finished watching Moose's Fall Color course. I thought it was very good. Enjoyed both the shooting tips as well as the processing tips. Great timing on the release of the course too.

Outstanding lesson; very practical advice ranging from basic to insights learned through years of experience (which can also seem basic once distilled). And, as with all of Moose's courses, very heartfelt, genuine, and fun to watch. I also appreciate your building a course from last year's fall experience and releasing it when it's timely for us.
