About the stamp design: Pictures a photograph by nature and garden photographer Allen Rokach (1941-2021).

About the Autumn Colors set: Includes 10 different designs featuring photographs by nature and garden photographer Allen Rokach (1941-2021). Each photograph was taken at a different location across the United States, a perfect way to emphasize the nationwide beauty of autumn.
History the stamp represents: There are many ways to capture the beauty of autumn colors. Perhaps the most accessible in the modern age is photography. Many people have cameras built right into their cell phones, allowing them to snap pictures with ease anywhere they go. Of course, these images can’t compete with the works of professional photographers, but there are some tips that can make your hobbyist fall photos stand out.
One of the first things to do is research your location ahead of time. Knowing the way the light hits certain areas and at what times of day is instrumental in capturing a great photo. In the fall, it can be better to take pictures on overcast days rather than bright sunny ones. Too much light can take away the vibrancy of fall foliage in your pictures. Or, if it’s very sunny, wait until early morning or late afternoon when the sun is lower in the sky (known as “golden hour”).
Perhaps the most important suggestion is to check when peak foliage is estimated to hit the area you’re photographing. You can search online or download special apps that will give you a good idea of when to go. But keep an eye on the weather, too. Leaves won’t be as plentiful after a heavy rain or windstorm!
With all these tips in mind, you can begin your autumn photography journey with confidence. Who knows what great shots you’ll get this year?!
