p.1 #1 · A Photographer's Delight: Autumn in the Blue Ridge Mountains


Congratulations to Ross Martin for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 7 votes - View Previous Winners


I'm currently camped in North Carolina where I've been working the autumn photography season along a section of the Blue Ridge Parkway and surrounding areas, and conditions have surpassed my expectations. Locals say color was poor the last couple years but this year has been exceptional (and also a week or more behind schedule). Some of the days have been heavy overcast with constant rain and wind and shooting all day in that challenged me, but getting wet was worth it when I reached the higher elevations and the foggy clouds added magical atmosphere to these gorgeous forests.

To say that this region has my heart would be an understatement. I hope you enjoy and thank you for visiting the thread!

Cheers,
Ross

Abundancy and warmth are dominated atmosphere.
Wonderful set of lovely images from Blue Ridge Parkway.
Essence of BRP is well selected at best.

Absolutely breathtaking. I post almost exclusively in the B&W section but was going to post some fall color shots I did yesterday along the river near my house. Nope, not gonna do that now. Compared to these, mine don't cut it.
Cheers,
Brent

Your positive feedback makes me happy, thank you! I think you should post your color fall shots, there's room here for everyone's individual take on the season :-)

Cheers,
Ross

Thank you! I am drawn to layers when I find them. I shot this same scene last week but it looks better here with leaf drop to add texture and depth.

Cheers,
Ross

Thanks reva, glad ypu got to experience the beauty in person! Were you in the Asheville area? My favorite section of the Blue Ridge is between Cherokee and Asheville.

Cheers,
Ross
