Fall fell and some falls

scole

I returned this past weekend to the Beckler River valley to do some further poking around since the weekend before yielded such great fall color. Wind and weather during the past week has pretty much ended most fall color so compositions weren't as easy as last time.

This is a compilation between two days-

1. Rapid River


2. Rapid River


3. Unnamed Creek


4. North Branch Rapid River


5. Fungus among us


6. First snow - Frog Mountain


7. Fall Color - Troublesome Mountain avalanche track


8. Western outcrops of Troublesome Mountain


9. Boulder Creek


10. Boulder Creek


11. Boulder Creek


12. One of two rainbows that appeared on my drive home


Thanks for looking..

prey for snow.

very nice series. I especially like the processing job on #3- the white balance is on and the greens really pop without being overdone. my only suggestion would be to decrease the warmth a little in a few, its causing the water to have a yellow/orange tint. Nice job

Thanks for the comments, Chris. If your comments are directed at photos 1,2, or 4, the color is basically correct. Those photos were taken at the tail end of a storm so I think the water itself was changed by the rainfall. I was surprised because the water up in the mountain streams generally runs clearer (unless carrying sediment!).

As a general comment, these photos have zero color correction. I've only done some level and shadow/highlight adjustments.

Thanks!

I wouldn't have expected that reaction for this particular one but that's the beauty of photography. I took several shots with slightly different compositions as some sunbreaks drifted through the area..

Great shots. Rapid River looks like it's living up to its name.

That rainbow is intense!

Very nice series 3, 9, 10, 11 and 12 have to be way up there on my favorite list. Hard to chose. Love the flow of the water, the mossy green rocks and the dead wood in these shots.

Great photos, #2 ,#3and #10 are my favs. bow
I agree with Chris. Try and rework 1,2 and 4. It might help.
