borderwx Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 A few to add from here in the NEK Darling Hill in Newport looking out over Lake Memphremagog, Bear Mtn, Owls'Head and The Pinaccle in the Eastern Townships prominent on the horizon. South Shore of Willoughby, looking up at the cliffs on Mt Pisgah The view from the cliffs back down toward Willoughby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted September 28, 2014 Share Posted September 28, 2014 How long you down there for? We've still got a solid week left of great color. I'd say through next weekend at least. Although there's lots of peak color, this is the early peak where there's still some green mixed in. Next weekend I bet still looks awesome, just with some leaf drop but the still green trees will fill that in with more orange and red.Flying back Thursday night. Hope it's not too late.

Damage In Tolland Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 My folks sent me this shot from the beach in Woodstock next to their summer cottage...seems early, as I remember Columbus Day weekend being vibrant as a kid visiting there growing up. image.jpg Not much bright or vibrance there. A lot of dull yellows and browns..And yes it is very early to be this far advanced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalWx Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 I thought the foliage was pretty good here despite the drought. Sure there are some browns, but the maples look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Beautiful yes,certainly not brown and dried up, as we saw with the graphic I posted from NWS, dry weather promotes sugar which enhances Reds Not much bright or vibrance there. A lot of dull yellows and browns..And yes it is very early to be this far advanced You two are a riot, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 After Powderfreak posted those incrediable pictures decided to drive up to Franconia Notch. Peak color is at around 2000 feet. Absolutely beautiful. Here are 2 pictures, one coming into the Notch and another looking up at Mt Lafayette 5300 high. My Canon 5D Mark 2 was on auto settings with auto white balance so didn't do anything to these photos. Your two photos show the difference lighting makes... the first one seems a little washed out on the color due to lighting, but the second one is perfect with the light coming behind you and highlighting the color. Personally, I would've darkened the first one , but props for sticking with your guns and posting as it came out of the lens. If you don't like post-processing though, you could play around with filters and other expensive add-ons to achieve a similar end product like touching them up in a photo program.

powderfreak Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Looks like peak foliage up in western Maine too, great colors all over NNE it seems. Hopefully Nittany will post some of his, I saw some from today that were excellent from the Killington/Woodstock, VT area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powderfreak Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Was up in Crawford Notch this weekend. Some real nice colors. Not much color to see in this pic but visibility was great. Looking toward mt. Washington. 20140927_111157.jpg The Whites and Adirondacks as a whole seem to have a lot more evergreen species due to the relatively higher average elevations. I bet in parts of the Whites and Adirondacks you actually have to stay sort of in the lower elevations to get the real peak foliage view of entire hillsides covered in color. I noticed it even on Mansfield hiking today, once I got to the spruce line, I turned around because those trees will be green all year round, lol. The color was best in that 1,500-3,000ft range...and above that it gets more bland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIPPYVALLEY Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Dude! Love this shot. What a beautiful spot there at Lake Willoughby. Willoughby is awesome. The Lake Lucerne of VT. A canoe in the fall out there is just breathtaking. Flagstaff in Maine ain't too shabby either. Wish we had some posters from the Carrabassett Valley for both pics and regular obs.

Nittany88 Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 99% of photos you see today are altered in some way. Mine are usually darkened if I'm taking them at midday light or something. I bet Nittany touches his up a little, JSpin too. All the shots I see from the MWN Observatory each day are usually touched up. Some are just more enhanced than others. But just about anyone taking the time to take photos is doing some sort of post-processing. The reason photos are enhanced is to approximate what a healthy human eye can see particularly with respect to colors. There's not a camera on earth that can do that without some help. Yeah I only touch mine up to match what I actually saw. Especially because, while I have a decent camera, its in no way high end. Obscene colors today. I think the mountain is peaking. Sunny skies and temps in the 70s, coupled with a weekend...it is a sh't show up here. I can't ever remember this many people being in the parking lots up here. Literally running out of parking. Mountain Road is like 93 in Boston at rush hour, bumper to bumper. This is like when a big snowstorm falls right before Presidents Weekend and the the sun comes out. People coming out of the woodwork. Just awesome foliage out there. I'm hoping to head up towards Belvidere tomorrow, where I saw the best foliage of my life last year lol.

OceanStWx Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Well I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of color in Acadia this weekend. The area around Jordan Pond, the Bubbles, and Jordan Cliffs was particularly vibrant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxmanmitch Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 There was some great color up in the northern Berkshires and S VT, especially near 2K where it's currently peaking. Here a couple of my favorites. Cell phone pics, so the quality isn't great. The first one was taken on route 9 in Woodford, the second in Stamford on route 8/100 just above the state line.
