Lets see your Fall Pictures

[dcg0317]

Ok everyone now that fall is here lets see some of your pics of your fall shots.
It just doesn't have to be of leaves and trees, anything that has to do with fall, football, soccer, farm stands, decorations, anything that says fall. I know in some parts it doesn't seem or look like fall but I'm sure you can find something.

Beautiful. Are the colours true, or is the saturation boosted?

Here's one from the back garden. Unfortunately flickr's sizes are rather inconvenient; this is too small and the next size up is too big

dcg0317- When did you take those shots? Beautiful, btw I haven't gotten up to the mts yet and was hoping to go this coming week. Wondering if I'm going to miss the great colors? A few from the rail trail I walk often. Windham Rail Trail in NH.

Far from fall foliage but here are some football pictures. My nephew, DH, DD15 and I went to a Patriots game for the first time two weekends ago (let's not discuss the results of the game please ).

Taken at my annual tour of the farm markets yesterday.
Mmmm--fresh apple cider and caramel apples!

Wish I knew how to make a good apple pie (I do know how to find the bakery, though)

Nothing says Fall like a little bluegrass music

The country store--I bought some honeycrisp apples here, my favorites and only available in the fall.

This little vignette caught my eye.

On the ride home

Taken two weeks ago. Thought I might use this to make my own Thanksgiving cards this year.

Fall pictures? That's going to have to wait a few months. We were at two swimming parties here yesterday. The air conditioners are running. The lawn needs watering and mowing. I don't see any signs of Fall around here. Well, we did have a lot of leaves fall, but that had more to do with Ike than a change of seasons.

It's times like these I regret living in a big city in the desert. Beautiful pictures everyone!

I know the feeling. Down here there are two seasons, Summer and Tourist.

I took the bus up with my son's cross-country team from Nashua, NH to Thetford, VT - over RT 89 and up RT 91.

And of course there is nothing like a cross-country meet in New England:

Sorry, I didn't resize the photographs for posting on this board. I'll try to get some of the better ones resized.

Thanks, Laura. I do so want to get together. I'm nursing a sick 6th grader back to health today. (ugh) I'll PM you soon with some ideas!

Very nice!!!!

Thank you! I use photoshop elements and it's just a layer I added and dropped the opacity, so it wouldn't compete too much with the photo. Then I flattened the image and viola'...watermark.

I don't use any saturation on my pics, sometimes in Lightroom I'll use the vibrance slider but sparingly, I did use a polarizing filter. Then I just correct the WB and some Levels and curves adjustments.
If you have never been to New England to see the fall colors it's a sight not to miss, they come from all the world just to see this short lived season. I actually like shooting on overcast lightrainy days in the fall, it really makes the colors pop.
Here are 2 shots straight from the camera, only converted from raw to jpeg and resized.

Great Pics everyone, there are some really amazing shots, thanks for sharing.
Susan I shot those pics last Monday the 29th. I want to get back up and over to Jackson and check out the Pumpkin People.
MarkBarbieri Believe me as much as I like the colors of fall around here I would much rather be wearing shorts and going swimming then thinking about whats comes after this season, SNOW!!
