With the rich fall foliage in full effect, autumn in Aspen is truly a photographers' paradise. But what about those of us not blessed with an eye for photography? If you're like us, you want to take great shots but just don't have the time to enroll in a photography class. Thankfully, Colorado Mountain College photography instructor Stu Huck shared some essential tips on how to take a great picture when he stopped by the set of The MorningNoon&Night Show. According to Stu, it's all about the light. 1. If you want to take beautiful pictures, take pictures of beautiful light.2. You can not photograph stuff. You can only photograph the light reflecting off the stuff you intend to shoot. 3. Pay attention to the sun and its relationship to the subject you are photographing.4. Morning and evening are great times to take pictures. 5. Do what you do when you are doing it. If you want great pictures, go out and take pictures. If you're going on a picnic, leave the camera at home.Show us what you learned by sending your pictures to aspenphotos@plumtv.com, and we'll post them on our homepage.
