How to shoot fall colours?

Fall colors are always a treat to the eyes unless we do not think of the trees without leaves in the winter ahead.
         Fall colors are best to be captured either in dawn or in dusk. When you try to take pictures of fall colors in hot sun you may have a tough time to avoid shadows.
Don't search for yellow,orange or red alone lookout for green also in-between which will make the picture speak on its own that the color has changed from green.


OK..what if you couldn't find a free time rather than a hot sunny time?
Here are few tips for you!!!
1. Make use of spot metering in your camera for focusing individual fall leaves.
2. You can make the colors look interesting by taking back lit or side-lit pictures.
3. Try to utilize on the colors which are in the shady area. For instance,the leaves in the shadow of a house or shady areas in a park.
