Appalachian Autumn
Camera: K10D Photo Location: SW Virginia 
Posted By: baro-nite, 10-22-2011, 05:04 PM

Finally got up to the mountain house last weekend, for the first time in much too long. Good weekend for it with lovely weather and fall colors.


Stopping by the road on the drive up, near Patrick Springs. K 24 2.8.


Abandoned homestead on Rock Castle Creek. K 24 2.8 wide open.


Sunset, Hog Mountain. M50 1.4.


Late afternoon light on Hog Mountain. M50 1.4.


And a little later on Slate Mountain. M50 1.4.

Each of these last three is a blend of two exposures with mild tone mapping in HDArtist Pro.

Thanks for stopping by; C&C welcome and appreciated, as always.

This is one of my favourite places in the world. I love your late afternoon light on Hog Mountain. Makes me want to go back!

Thanks to all for the kind words!

Dave, your Dad's right, of course.

Tom -- glad you like that one. I had shot the same scene about an hour earlier and decided to go back for another attempt -- glad I did.

Remco: the sunset itself was nothing special, but those shafts of light through the red and yellow leaves were. Elusive, too; they came and went as the clouds moved by (windy day).

bigted: I really like that one too and only wish I had spent a bit more time over it. If I get another chance with similar light at it I'll look at it from a some different perspectives.
