I hope everyone got a chance to get out and shoot the fall color. I almost missed the whole show, but was able to squeeze in a few days of shooting last weekend in the Smokies and western NC. Sorry I didn't bump into any SENP'ers.
As my 4x5's are making their way across the country to be developed I wondered what everyone's favorite experience was this fall. One of my favorites was a hike to Spruce Flat Falls. It was a nice quiet rainy morning and the water and colors were great. I also enjoyed exploring the Balsam Mtn Road on Sunday morning. Although I didn't take many shots it was nice and quiet with absolutely no one else around. Quite a constrast to the bustle in the rest of the park.
So tell us or show us what your favorite part of this fall was!!!

I spent two weeks in New Hampshire this fall helping teach a photo workshop. I had a little time before the workshop to practice fall color reflections. They are a lot of fun. Here is a link to one of my favorites.

Still shooting... well... sort-of...

That's a sweet shot Les and a fitting title. I'm jealous!! I played around with some reflection shot's too and it was an area that I really wished I could have used digital for an instant preview. Instead I just shot lots of sheets, so hopefully something good comes out.

Good point Steve. I need to take advantage of some of those late season opportunities out there.

It's just starting to peak here in RTP. Spectacular color. I'm getting a lot of intimate scenes.

Great shot, Richard. I love the rays. Was this on the Parkway? How did you include the image in your reply? I tried with my reply but it did not work for me.
Les,
This was taken from the Foothills Parkway - West, looking east over the Smokies. This is just one exposure out of 4G of RAW files shot this morning. Amazing morning.

Cool shot Richard and I'm glad your still getting great shots!! You're making me jealous sitting here in the office.
Les, I think a while back they changed the rules so that you have to have an active membership to add images to replies. No worries though, a link to a shot is just as good.

Mine would be seeing wild river otters for the first time while hanging out shooting color at a local lake. No good shots yet of them but it brings a new quest!
