>>2317148Please tell me about your education in photography or imagery editing. I see foliage that is as colorful as that every year, albeit it only lasts 2 days or so. You must not be a pro at leaf peeping. If capturing photos of good foliage yourself isn't your thing that is fine and I understand, but other people know exactly when and where to take photos because they might live in the area and experience it every year.
Another anon said you are from DC and I guess you travel for hours to take photos? That makes more sense as to why you would have such lack of knowledge, since foliage color and when leaves turn is dependent on local biology and weather patterns, amongst other things. So its not necessarily "knowledge" per say, but an in-depth understanding of the environment you live in.
Maybe if you move out of DC you can experience such colors for yourself.
