p.1 #1 · Fall in the Adirondacks, NY

I'm just back from a trip out west with Icypeak and Sierrasong, but took a quick run to the NY High Peaks region from some local shots. Here's a few:

Love those local shots, Bart. I agree with Tim in that the colours are striking. I particularly love the flow of the stream on the 1st image and wonderful collection of leaves in the foreground. The images just seem to get better as I
scrolled through this series.

Superb work here.

Hey Bart,

These are cool! There is no way I am picking a favorite out, cause they are all my favorites. Each one is spot on as some of our friends say!

Bart,
I am going with #2 & #4.
The swirl in the foreground almost looks like an inverted heart

The pathway shot has a great carpet & detail
Are those maple leaves?

The pool and that last waterfall get my vote... Looks like a very productive outing.

Oh I miss the dacks.. beautiful images

Last one might be my fav, really captures the place. I think darkening and adding some contrast to the top of the image would make it even better.

Really lovely set, Bart!
Wonderful fall color. We're still waiting.

3rd and 4th would be my picks, but they're all really excellent.

Outstanding set, Bart! I love the careful compositions and the gentle processing. As always, your processing creates vibrant yet entirely natural colours.
The last is probably my favourite but only by a small margin, they are all so good.

Quintessential autumn , Bart ! Each elegant gold and russety vignette bears your hallmarks of careful composition and skilful processing. I particularly like the dynamic element contained in these backwater images ; charming work all round my friend !

Thanks so much to each of you. It's been so busy lately that I've had time to browse, but little time to post or comment. But it's good to be back. Now, to get to those Southwest images after a great trip with Dave and Deb.

Floris, thanks for the tip on the last, I'll be doing that adjustment for the print.

Dan: The pathway shot shows Maple, Beech and Birch leaves. All are plentiful in that area.

Jake: One day in the AMR (good color in the valley); one day Avalanche, Colden, Lake Arnold, Indian Falls and Phelps Brook -- past peak, and full of people; and one day up the JackRabbit Trail via Nichols Brook. I saw a few, but not many photographers. Let me know some time when you're headed up there, maybe we can shoot and share locations.

Thanks again, my friends.

A fine set, Bart! I refuse to choose and intend to instead enjoy them as a group. Dave

Bart,

Sorry I'm late to the party. It looks like you got home to very nice fall conditions, and hopefully had some great hikes. I think #4 will be my pick for favorite of these as well, although compression for the web has made the detail pretty poor, but I'm sure the full resolution is beautiful. In #2, the swirling effect is interesting, but takes up so much of the foreground that it makes me a bit dizzy to look at it! In #3, I like the composition, but the lighting takes the emphasis off of the falls and makes the log and foreground leaves into the subject. Maybe burning the foreground leaves a bit would return the eye back to the center. I like the last one a lot as well, but think it may have been better without the fallen logs transecting the image into 2 halves at the midline.

Just a few random impressions.
