![]() ![]() ![]() It was taken in New Hampshire but the colorful trees are across the water in Maine.Īnd that is my introduction. The one I post here is probably the best of the lot. In the end, I decided to shoot what I could in my general area, and I got some OK stuff. I had taken time off for my great photo adventure about a week early, even though it should have been right on time, given that I had planned to shoot “up north”. Hence my horror when I saw more green than orange or red or yellow. Thinking that the Lake’s Region would look spectacular (since my area was quite good at about 75% engaged), I took a day off and drove up there. The rule is that the best foliage starts in the north and works its way south. I live in the greater seacoast area of New Hampshire. I spent the rest of the day circumnavigating the lake, racing the sun all the way and just loosing the race at every turn. And I was horrified to see that the foliage was not even quite half engaged. When the sun did in fact come up, I was flummoxed to find the wind-churned lake so choppy it did not reflect the sky. I took an hour’s drive up to Lake Winnipesaukee in mid October and was there at a “scenic viewpoint” as the sun came up. That, or I was in the wrong place at the wrong time all the time. ![]() This year was a tough year, though, as the foliage came later than usual and seemed to pass peak roughly a day before it got to peak. In the autumn, I spend a fantastic amount of time taking foliage pictures here in New Hampshire and in southern Maine. ![]() Though I work a regular job most of the time, I shoot weddings, etc., when I can. I use my cameras professionally and personally. I have been using Nikons for about ten years now, starting with a D80 and moving on to a D5500. This is my first post on the Nikon forum. ![]()
