Autumn in West Virginia

12 years 3 months ago #194729 by scifitographer
Spent a weekend in West Virginia back in October to shoot some fall colors. The best part about West Virginia is that the state parks are free to enter. Here's a couple of my favorites.

New Market Battlefield in Virgnia


Grist Mill, Babcock State Park, WV


Cathedral Falls near Gauley Bridge,WV. No hiking, just pull off of the main road and you're right there at the base of the falls. My kind of nature.

Gorgeous colors! #2 is my favorite of the three. #3 is great as well. For some reason I feel like there's a weird angle going on in #1 but can't put my finger on it. Might just be my imagination though ;)

Thanks.

There probably is a weird angle going on in #1, the ground slopes to the right and everything else sloped too.. I used the right side of the door frame to straighten as much as possible.

Very, very nice. They do seem over sharpened though, and I think number 3 is a little borderline in highlights.
