West Virginia Fall Colours

[Bryan Lemasters]

I am looking to break the current record of one jump.


Steve

Have you considered shorter jumps?

[Sirius Glass]

Have you considered shorter jumps?

Oh, I did not think of that ...

... let me get back to you ...

Last Sunday we drove from Boone, NC through Banner Elk to Elizabethton, TN and down 321 & 411 to Chatanooga and on across Alabama. No color.

Im heading over that way mid-next week. I give a report when I get there. Planning on shooting Blackwater Falls area including at least one morning at Dolly Sods. Stay tuned.....

[Greg Blank]

Those are nice areas but over photographed.

Over-photographed perhaps. But not by this Londoner! I'll be heading out to WV tomorrow and tootling around with my camera for several days. I'm expecting I'm probably about a week early for the best colour but you never know. Fingers crossed.

The only things that are extremely overphotographed from that area are the waterfalls and a couple of the overlooks- but what waterfalls and overlooks in the United States aren't overphotographed? The falls and overlooks are just a small sampling of what is available in this area with miles of very nice hiking trails and a canyon with a scenic river that doesnt have true trails leading down to it. Hope to see you there Riverman- Ill be running around with an ARCA and a Canham 4x5 starting tomorrow through Saturday morning- stop and say Hi if you see me.

Eric -- I'm heading to the Blackwater Falls area end of next week. If I see a guy with a large format camera, I'll assume it's you.

Im already here Ben!- the report is...
Dolly Sods- color not looking too good with an orangy brown hue to the blueberries instead of a brilliant red. Other foliage through the woodsie areas of the wilderness area seems about a week away but lots of lost leaves throughout the area due to recent storms. Im planning on exploring the Rohrbach areas tomorrow or Saturday if the wind subsides.
Canaan through Blackwater- again still seems to be a week (maybe even more) away from peak color- some spottiness but still mainly green in the rugged areas.

I spent most of today in Cathedral hiding from the wind doing macro lichens/mushrooms type shots- had the place to myself!

Either doing Rohrbach or hiking down to the bottom of Blackwater River Canyon to do some lower canyon shooting if its still to windy!

I hope you are right. I cannot get off work until the 15th and will be out with my camera on the 16th. It's an 8 hour drive from my house so I hope to get amped up on that 5 hour energy drink and drive up after work.
