Fall Colors – Out and About

A Favorite View

November 25, 2020November 25, 2020Michael Morgan1 Comment

I’ve made lots of landscape photos in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. A favorite location is Philpott Lake, with over 100 miles of winding shoreline and beautiful trees. I especially enjoy making photos there in late Fall and Winter.

Which Photo Fits the Season?

This photo of lingering leaves on a Maple tree in our back yard fits the season.

However, this photo made minutes after the one above, showing one of our Camellia Bushes in the front yard, might make one think it’s Summertime. Mother Nature always presents us with interesting sights.

The morning sun not only began to melt the slim layer of ice, it also provided a nice back-lit photo of a lone leaf.

Beautiful End of the Road

Sometimes it’s a good idea to go to the end of a road. You never know what you might find. In this case I found a beautiful scene.

I’m glad I saw this image at just the right time. Perfect yellows.

Vines on Trees

Fall colors make climbing vines stand out as they grow upward.

Making a “back-lit” composition enhances colors.

Watch for the Light

It had been cool and cloudy all day, and not an especially good time to make Autumn landscape photos. And then, as the sun lowered on the western horizon, the light changed. Lesson learned: be patient, wait for it.

Autumn Winding Down

It’s been a colorful season this year in SW Virginia. Freezing temperatures are now causing leaves to fall to the ground more quickly. Soon it will be full blast winter.
