Dry Falls in Peak Autumn Splendor
"Sometimes you just get lucky" could not have been more true yesterday (10/12/22) when a friend and I visited Dry Falls outside Highlands, NC. All the way there from Brevard on US 64 the colors were absolutely stunning. Like many have said this year, it just seems like colors are better this year. But the timing of colors seems early and not like previous years. Many places getting colors all at the same time. Hard to get everywhere.
We got a late start and got to Dry Falls around 3pm. Conditions were really perfect - little to no wind, heavy overcast with some fog, had rained earlier in the day so colors were really saturated - really amazing. The crowd wasn't too bad either. While we were there for nearly two hours, probably half of it was spent waiting for people to move out of my shots. I didn't want to risk missing these conditions by relying on Photoshop to erase people. I took many different compositions to try to capture this beauty from all angles. I'll be posting them later.
Don't wait long to go. Leaves were really dropping and they won't last long.
