Fall Photo Guide

About

I'm Andy Feliciotti, a photographer. I built this because every foliage map I used stopped exactly where my questions started.

They tell you a county is "near peak." They don't tell you that the overlook at 5,000 feet went two weeks ago while the valley below it hasn't started. They don't tell you the sun will rise behind the ridge you drove four hours to shoot, or that Saturday's gusts will strip the canopy on Friday night.

So this site forecasts individual viewpoints and pairs each one with the light. Sunrise azimuth for the date. Wind at dawn. Fog probability. The things that decide whether you got the shot.

Everything here is either computed from published science or verified against a real source. Where the model is uncertain, the page says so. I'd rather show you nothing than a coordinate I made up.

Corrections

If a peak date, coordinate or access note is wrong, tell me — local knowledge beats a model, and I'll fix it.

How the forecast works

Photoperiod sets the clock; latitude and elevation set the offset; weather decides color quality. Read the full method.
