📌 Photo Tips for Autumn Scenes

• Use the “golden hour” light (early morning or late afternoon) to make colours pop.
• Seek contrast: a subject (person or object) in front of vibrant foliage creates depth.
• Use reflections (ponds, river) to mirror autumn colours.
• Arrive early or avoid weekends at popular spots to shoot without crowds.
• Dress in layers—cool mornings and warm afternoons demand flexible attire.

Whether you’re traveling solo, with friends, or as a couple, these spots provide unforgettable autumn backdrops.
In 2025, make your fall photography journey one to remember. Grab your camera, pick your spot, and let Korea’s autumn colours speak.
