Bismarck-Mandan area has the best autumn colors (Part 1)

Sadly, this autumn has been brief, cold, and gray…and I’ve been way too busy to get out.  But last year was perhaps the best photo fall I’ve ever had.  Worth reposting.  Six posts in all, I believe.  Here’s the first.

I took Monday off and roamed around a little bit with a shot list I’d been working on for a few days prior, and I must say I had a very fruitful time. While many of the shots I got have some lovely fall foliage in them, I haven’t taken the time to process those yet. I’ve got quite a backlog of photo and video work projects that I need to get done, so personal stuff is going to have to hold off for a bit. But I did manage to stop for some shots of trees along the way…

 

I love the gold and green here. Could have used a little red, but that’s going to be in Part Two of this little series.

 

I nabbed a couple angles of this shot, one being behind this one a little way and illustrating the curve of the road differently. But I ultimately chose this one. I might have to take another look at the other shot for Part Two as well.

 

This had lots of green and lots of gold…but the setting sun made the green a little hard to pick out.

I have a few more coming, so stay tuned!
