I am new in photography. I just bought canon eos 70d with kit EF 55-250mm, EF 18-55mm 1:3-5.6 and EF 50mm f/1.8. Any suggestions, tips and tricks to use to get some decent
photos of the foliage vibrant colors, please thank you.
Early or late day, and overcast or wet conditions will produce far more vibrant colors than mid-day sun. Bright sun washes out color.
Try backlit and closer shots. Wide, expansive views don't usually have as much impact. Do Google image search and make note of those that catch and hold your attention: composition and lighting.
What shooting mode have you been using this past year since joining UHH? Have you had a chance to learn about aperture (depth of field, how much of an image is in focus) and shutter speed as it applies to "stopping action" (in case there's a breeze)? Done any shooting in tricky lighting conditions, so you are familiar with exposure compensation (over-riding auto)?
Make sure you have a high quality circular polarizing filter in use.

Thank you so much.I have been studying the camera's manual then practice when I get time. I am using aperture priority mode (Av) for now, exposure seems difficult for me to grasp yet. Googles, you tube and some photography books do help. thanks
Dan, I have Tiffen circular polarizer filter. I hope this is good enough. Any suggestion for ND filter? thank you.

Patience. We went there early Oct last year and were several weeks early.
A CP filter will give you more vibrant colors.

Shouldn't need aND filter. Your CP will give you a stop or two.
