I spent most of yesterday looking for some autumn color to shoot. Well, that's not quite right. I didn't have to look very far to find something to shoot because right now here in western Newfoundland it looks like we're living on top of a giant pumpkin! Seriously.
What I meant was, I was looking for something different ... or somewhere different ... I hadn't shot before. And, I did manage to do that, but I still couldn't resist going back and shooting some of the old familiar stuff as well ... but, tried to shoot it from a slightly different point of view.
The snow that made Halloween a challenge for the trick-or-treaters created a rare combination of seasons for photographers.

秋の源光庵: 悟りの窓と迷いの窓
A quick shot taken yesterday afternoon outside the back door of my parents house. The color here in Connecticut right now is very surprising given our serious serious drought.
The Pentax DA* 300mm is an incredible lens. Even though I'm the one who took it, I can't believe that there wasn't any saturation or sharpness added to the RAW file before converting. A good testament to what can be done with good light and an even better lens.
The neighbor's driveway, which is long and lined with maple trees.
Below is a video of the same lane, if you like seeing trees and want to take a little walk up with me.
Upper Linville Falls, North Carolina and No.3 from my trip.
Being that much smaller, the upper falls at Linville get a lot less attention than the main falls. And, probably like many people, I was in a hurry to get to one of the main overlooks and only spent a few minutes here.
But when I processed the photos I was struck by the beauty of the upper falls. The two side-by-side drops make for a slightly awkward composition, but with the upper falls you can get that much closer and explore in a way you can't with the main falls. This is one I'd definitely like to revisit.

It's getting a little late to post fall foliage photos, as most of the leaves have fallen now. These three photos were taken last month on the same pond with varying wind conditions.
I was working on all of the fall foliage photos I had taken, when we had the sudden snowstorm. Now, the 6" of snow we received has disappeared and everything is brown. November...my least favorite month (although March is a close second).
A section of Buller Pond in the Kananaskis after early snow. Driving this gravel road from Canmore is a special treat.
Enjoy these last couple days of 2024!
The Blue Ridge Parkway offers many opportunities for foggy captures, one of of my favorite to photograph. This one was taken during the Fall.
Flat Top Trail, Peaks of Otter, Blue Ridge Parkway, Va
Maples at their peak of color, on every hillside. Autumn in the foothills of New York!!
The bare trees are most likely Ash trees, which lose their leaves very early in the season. Or perhaps they are dead or dying Ash.
SOOC shot - amazing viewed large.
I spotted this across the river while driving. By the time I found a place to pull over and got in position, the sun had disappeared behind clouds and I had to wait 20 minutes before it came back to shine a spotlight on those trees! I’m glad I waited!
