Fall leaves in the Triad

This fall I have really not had time to take many images of leaves.  Seems like when I had time it was raining, cloudy, windy etc. Both images taken with the iPhone 6s. The one on the left is of some hickory leaves take mid-November.  Saturation was increased  post processing.  It  was taken on my neighborhood walk about 4 pm.  The image on the right is of a Sourwood or Sorrel tree with some cluster blossoms in the fall. The foliage is various shades of red.. The blossoms were too far away to capture clearly(a problem with limited aperture of iPhone with distant objects--plus this was a windy day). It was taken about 3rd week of October.  This tree was at Country Park in Greensboro but more well know in the Pilot Mountain area of NC.

Halloween Display in Neighbor's Yard

Every year my neighbor, Randy,  puts up a Halloween display.  He spends hours setting it up and making new structures.  I captured some images before it got dark and then took others after he completed the set up.  Some of the structures made noises when it heard peoples voices.  He also had fog floating over the area.  I did not incorporate structures that were on the left of the driveway,but included skeletons, inflateable cat on a pumpkin,          a ghoul with chains and a guillotine.Taken Nikon P 600 & others with the iPhone 6.  Post processing with PSE 15

Fall Leaves in NE GSO

 Leaves are finally starting to change color in the Triad.   I do not think that the color is as good as some years. Jack had an appt at the Triad Foot Center and I saw some leaves just starting to peak.   Images taken with my Nikon P600.  It was bright and sunny, So, I had to stop down the light.  Minimal editing with PSE 15.   I hope to find some more images to try with my Sony Alpha 7 and maybe try circular polarizing filter--telephoto lens.
