fall foliage 2008

[ski_resort_observer]

The sun finally came out in the afternoon so I took the cameras out to see what I could come up with.

....you have the "knack" !

Not sure who would win the John Atkinson vs. SRO photo smackdown...but both of you do a great job with the visuals (and you, too, Lostone).

[Lostone]

And speaking of "(and you, too, Lostone)" . . . Here are a few of mine, mostly from Sugarbush, itself.

As SRO knows, I have been very concerned with the start of foliage season. The colors started out very dull. But things have turned really pretty up here. These shots are all out of my camera before last weekend, but they have been replaced with quite a few others.

What I have so far, is here. (http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/ee203/Pix_from_Jim/2008%20%20Foliage/) Many more will start coming out, in the near future. When they do, I'll post some of them, here. . . in SRO's thread. :lol:

Some good shots, there. 8)

Can't believe you got shots today. You had to be out in the (2) 15 minute periods that it wasn't raining! :wink:

[happygirl]

Those are beautiful shots. :D

[on_edge]

I haven't been photographing yet today. Post day is for yesterday's photos. Hey, the sun just came out! Shhh...don't say anything it may hide again.

[ski_resort_observer]

As I was heading out this afternoon to do some errands I saw that the sun was going to honor us with it's presence again so I grabbed my camera and decided to hear up to LP after I checked my mail. Unfortunately my cheap point and shoot doesn't handle very well shooting towards the sun but I still found some foliage looking mighty fine. Always awesome foliage in Southface and today was no exception.

Those trees are so pretty.. It makes me want to drive up there right now 8)

Nice photos, S_R_O! I believe I saw you taking the one of Arnold's sugarhouse--did you happen to get a shot of the two people walking towards you on West Hill Rd?

[ski_resort_observer]

I thought about it but the trees where you were walking weren't all that great plus it was very dark but I thought about taking a shot when you came to a spot on the road where the sun was shining thru but when I turned around to check your progress you were gone.....

Your an awesome photog, where are your foliage pics? :D

[skiladi]

Vicarious leafpeeping! :mrgreen: saves fuel. But I'd still rather be there. Nice shots , everyone.

[Lostone]

I've decided to change the way I've been going thru, and posting my pix. I was starting at the beginning, but at the rate I shoot and the rate I post, you'd see today's pix... in December, or so. :?

Today, I took around 38 pix, and posted 13.

New ones start on... 10/02. :wink:

[Lostone]

Have already fallen badly behind my "new system", as I am still posting Friday's pix. Took the lift up and hiked down Lower Jester.

But first I had to get over to the lift.

Always hope for a shot like this! :D

I took 108 pix, Friday. I've only gone thru the first 36, and the rest of ones I've posted can be found here. (http://s232.photobucket.com/albums/ee203/Pix_from_Jim/2008%20%20Foliage/?start=20)


Saturday I did a few shots from the car as my way back from the station and then the farmers' market, then took the lift up and hiked down Snowball. Don't even know how many pix I have from there, but I know there are some great shots to come.

[summitchallenger]

I hiked Mount Ellen yesterday. Not much snow at the top, and it was cloudy and cold (for a change), but the colors were amazing. Pics soon...

Nice shots. You had the same problem I did,trying to balance the light of where the sun was out, and where it wasn't. Either gave a great shot, but both, together, were bothersome. :?

Awesome shots guys.

A SLR, either dig or film, that accepts filters, will solve the problem of a bright sky and a darker foreground by using a graduated gray filter. One of two filters I always have on hand for my serious photography. Now that I finally have a good film scanner I will keep using my old Nikons for at least alittle while longer.

In the situation above, pretty common in landscape photography, you hold the dark part of the filter over the sky and the light side is covering the foreground. Result, the light is balanced out so you don't end up with a bright sky with no detail, decent foreground or a sky exposed properly but a super dark foreground.

And from today, on the way up and down the mountain...

Nice pics Lostone. I agree with your statement. I wish I lived there 365 also......
Hay, I can see my place in the first pic. :wink:
