Autumn in New England

Gallery: NAD 2009Posted October 4, 20095,006 views8 comments

One of the best benefits of moving to NH is enjoying the incredible New England autumn foliage. Where we are, spectacular fall color can be seen in our own yard, and the surrounding area is filled with classic NE scenes.

Even though the colors have not yet peaked, the "leaf peeping" this weekend was very good. This scene was just a few miles from our home. Taking the time to enjoy the autumn color and New England scenery is certainly one of my favorite photographic pursuits, one that I look forward to every year!

This photo is full frame minus a small crop off the top. Five exposures processed on Photomatrix and finished up in CS4.

The mood here brings back memories of days long ago. I like the layers of colors leading up to the silo and barn... bright green, gold, muted reds and then the darker greens.

Beautiful colors! Someday I need to visit NE in the fall to see the spectacle in person.

The layers and the country atmosphere makes this an enjoyable image, Jim.

Jim, this has a very classic NE fall view of colors, structure, and all around autumn mood to the scene.
