Finally fall in the Cascades

scole

I mentioned in my last post that I returned to the Beckler and North Fork Skykomish River Valleys the following day to capture the fall color that's really popping out. A lot of portrait compositions. Hmm...

1. Fall color reflections on the Beckler River


2. Fire Water


3.


4. Vine Maple


5. Yet more...


6. Rapid River


7. More Vine Maple


8. Canopy of Fall above Forest Service Road 63


9. North Fork Skykomish River


10. North Fork Skykomish River


11. North Fork Skykomish River


12. Forest Mist


If that wasn't good enough for me, I also got about a half dozen nice photos of a Dipper splashing around in the river. I'll be posting those over in the Wildlife forum.

Thanks for looking...

Your first couple of shots strike me the most. I like em!

Beautiful gold colors. My favorites are 1 and 4. I like the simplicity of the pics!

Beautiful fall shots, Steve. The abstract colors on the water and wonderful!

Tee Why

Nice fall colors.

There are some very nice pictures in this series Steve. I particularly like #1, 6 and 10. Very nice colors!! We have not seen colors like this very much on our side of the mountains yet.

Hi Steve,
These are a lot of fun, I'm just loving shooting this time of year. It seems more colorful than usual. I'll have to post some shots of NW colors later this evening. Around here you gotta grab all the Fall color you can get.
My favorites are no 2, 3, 4, and 12. When I initially saw the first few I thought you has some time exposures of spawning salmon. I like the contrast of No. 4.

Wonderful series. I really like the water reflections. All the different facets of light and color. Very Nice!

These are beautiful examples of autumn colors and wonderful water effects. Great job with these Steve.

You are hitting the northwest fall landscapes like a mad man!

My favorite is the abstract #2, but there are some great colors in this series.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. I'm also partial to the first few photos. It was 5 hours of shooting and I just kinda scratched the surface. I'm thinking about heading back into the general area once again to explore some more.

Thanks Ron! I feel that I've had a pretty good year of shooting so it makes it a lot easier to go out each week. I think I also benefitted from no set agenda. On a couple outings, I felt some mild anxiety to "get the shots" at some locations because they were limited opportunities. Here, I just pulled over whenever and just poked around. Very freeing!

Nice series. I like the bright yellows in #1 and #3 along with the simplicity.

Schnauzer

A beautiful series. I just love #8.

David_S85

Great stuff. #9 is da bomb.

wow
Mind blowing. Liked the#6 and #9 best.

LOVE #1, but #3 is a darn close second... very nice! i gotta get up there before the colors disappear...

acowan

I really like #3. I think if you cropped out a bit of the top and most of the bottom (make it either 11x14ish or square) then it would look fantastic!

Very nice. I love the color and 6, 10 are my favs.
