it's *that* time of year for many dgrinners! okay guys, let's see 'em. post your fall shots right here in this thread.

i went out today, it's still early for peak so i drove about an hour north and found these... still not peak, but i did find some really good spots for next weekend :D

need some help? either at shoot, or in post, there's plenty of poop right here

these shots handheld, canon 20d with 70-200L f/2.8 i.s. aboard, iso 400. negative ec of -2/3s. shot in raw, processed in adobe camera raw, then contrast, color, exposure adjustments in ps cs. the train tracks shot was taken thru a chain link fence, from a highway overpass, and it's the full frame, in fact, all shots are full frame no cropping.

enjoy (fall colors) photography,

    Normally, the June Lake Loop affords a great look at fall colors. However,
    it hasn't really been cold enough to get things going. This is Silver Lake
    which is about mid-way down the loop. June Lake is located on the Eastern
    side of the Sierras. Between the towns of Bridgeport and Mammoth Lakes.

    The sky is blown out but look in the trees for some color :D

    Taken about 2w ago.

    Beautiful images, Andy. I find myself wondering why you chose not to increase the saturation on this one. I'm not being being critical: I'm hoping for a lesson!

    Hi Lonebear00. To make the link work, you have to have .jpg at the end of it. The link you used is to your entire gallery. And it looks like you have turned-off permission to link to your individual images. You have some beautiful pictures in your gallery, really nice work. nod.gif

    Same problem, Lonebear00. The link is to your entire gallery.

    Hey, click on this link, it will tell you everything you need to know about linking your photos to dgrin.

    But as I said, it looks like in your Smugmug account, you've turned off permission to link to your photos. ne_nau.gif Until you change that setting in your Smugmug account, you will not be able to link to individual shots. :cry

    sid - thanks so much!

    actually - i ran my velvia action on them, but then dialed it back to maybe 22% or so. the increased saturation on the oranges really started to look hinky.

    i love vivid colors, but i'm finding myself being really critical lately in terms of oversaturating.

    Its the middle of spring down here !!!! , you'll have to wait 6 months for some of the Autumn colours from Au.

    Having said that though, I have a liquid amber tree that is thoroughly confused, and still has some of its Autumn leaves, whilst its sprouting its new growth. Might be an interesting contrast photo.thumb.gif

    Uh, you covered up the monarch butterfly post I just did. All your fall colors, and mine, are wonderful. I got more today.

    And I forgot that our Monarchs are an annual autumn event, so they are fall colors.

    ginger

    Am trying to get stuff worked up, takes a moment. One of my monarch shots could have used more depth of field. But I didn't plan this. Not at all. Planned to go home after church.
