"The Road to Color" 10/16/08 While Driving today I got stuck behind a SLOW POKE on the only single lane road leading out of town and was getting frustrated so I jumped off onto this small fire road and was shocked by the colors in this tunnel like ride. it was raining pretty good all day today so there was no sun and nasty puddles everywhere but I was able to snap this by opening my sun roof and sticking the D300 out on constant focus and shot it while doing about 10 mph. I was amazed by the composition I was able to get since I was in the center of the road and being above the car it gave me some extra height then the usual eye view, I think it worked out pretty well LOL. In post I did a minor contrast adjustment and small crop off the bottom, that's it! I'm enjoying the colors here now but I see them disappearing very rapidly so I'm going to try and get some shots everyday now until their gone. It's supposed to get very cold here starting tonight in the 50's as a high during the day and low 40's to high 30's at night Brrrrrrrrrr. I got some other shots from today to process yet but I will be putting them in my Fall Colors 2008 gallery when there finished. Hope you all enjoy your day, Bill Pador
"Mountain Of Color" Good afternoon all, I'm having a decent day today without the same pain level as yesterdays miserable start. I wanted to thank you all for your well wishes & let you know I'm feeling much better today. I shot this Mountainside just around the corner from my house while sitting in my car in the traffic lane LOL. It sits behind some homes along one of our main access roads and just 200' or so from the Stud Farm that I photograph all the time. I was able to shoot in between 2 homes to get this capture, so yes this is actually someones BACK YARD! Could you imagine waking up to this beautiful site every morning? On the top of this mountain lies part of the Appalachian Trail which I have yet to walk in the 12 years I've lived here, but one of these days. Post consisted of a slight color balance in the sky and then I added a soft focus to the trees to blend & soften the colors a bit for a smooth look and that's about it. Total time spent on this one was about 10 min. Have a wonderful day everyone ! ~Bill Pador~
