Hiked Firewarden's trail on Hale, hoped to be inside the foliage. Too late
A few more pics, including me on the summit, here

Too late
Yeah, when I hiked through Zealand on the 3rd, I was surprised at the bare birch trees in that area. Seems like foliage hit north of the notches a week or so early this year. The two days of wind and rain didn't help much, either. The southern Pemi was looking a bit past this weekend as well.

One of the reasons that I love hiking in Autumn...
Owls head slide
Bonds from black pond (on the way to owl's head)
Ledges on the Blueberry Ledge trail

This got a little washed out, but its hard to shoot at Harvard Falls and not get 93 in it, so this was the best I could do:

OJI and Doubletop from Kidney Pond.
Colors looked a little muted in Baxter this weekend but the evening light helped warm things up... there was a bit of snow on Katahdin all weekend.

Thanks. I'm actually not that happy with it... the highlights are a bit blown. It's easier to see full size.
I like your first one. That's a lot of dynamic range. Is it a two exposure blend?
A few I shot yesterday:
Looks like the color will be around for another week or so. Unfortunately, I managed to walk into a branch yesterday and apparently bruise my eyeball. It hurts like hell.
And it's my right eye, so it looks like looking through the viewfinder is going to be tough for a while.I'm hoping I can get one more weekend out of this fall.
Here are a few more from yesterday that I just processed. Hopefully the double post doesn't annoy anyone.
Same composition from last week, but with significantly lower water:
I still have a pano to stitch and process... but I'm far too lazy to do that at the moment.

No, just one exposure. I used a couple ND grad filters (which is why the rock on the left turns black at the top). I did do some subtle lightening afterwards.
This rules. What waterfall is this?
Ah. I got rid of my grad NDs. I'm lazy and find it much easier to just bracket the shot +/- a stop or two than dig around in my pack for another filter.
You did a good job with it. That exposure was nailed. I've shot in similar conditions and haven't managed to pull it off that well.
It doesn't have a name, though the brook that feeds it is the very creatively named Mountain Brook in Enders State Forest.
There's a good collection of waterfalls in the ravine. None of them are terribly big, but they're all worthwhile. I would have been reluctant to post about it years ago, but unfortunately the area has since been "discovered." It's routinely trashed by teenagers these days and I discovered some new bright pink graffiti on the rocks that wasn't there last month. Unfortunately, that's the way things go in CT.

I love that perspective looking straight down the falls! I've never tried that angle for a waterfall shot - that would be great for a few narrow flume falls around here. Excellent job with the exposure and focus on this one - I'd be hard pressed to get the foreground and background nice and crisp like you did!
Thanks. That's why I pack a 12mm lens.I love that perspective looking straight down the falls!

The hyperfocal distance becomes awfully close when shooting that wide.
If you want the exposure: 12mm, 0.5sec @ f/13
I use a crop body, so that's about 15 or 16mm on full frame, I believe.

It seems like a dangerous way to shoot a waterfall, though... Hope you are being extra-careful getting that kind of shot.
Definitely. That's how I make sure I come back with the shot.

While it may not be one of those stunning photos from the magic hour; your photo exhibits the soft colors which are found in the subtle, afterglow of sunset. It is the quiet side of the magic hour. And I believe that your photo is quite beautiful in its simplicity.
