Continuing with Fall foliage in Vermont, these images were all taken on October 3, in the NEK. We headed out very early in the morning. Our first stop was to check out the colors at Bean Pond in Barton. They were ok. Not the best, but certainly not the worst I've seen here.
We then went to my favorite location in Irasburg. The colors here were fantastic and the warm morning light was really pretty here.
I was very happy to see this school bus approaching. I shot this image with my IPhone. Notice the color differences between the image taken with the Nikon, and the image taken with the IPhone. I did not saturate either of these images, but clearly the IPhone image looks more saturated than the image from the Nikon.

This next photo was taken on a dirt road in Brownington VT. The color of this maple tree was so vibrant, and I also liked the tire swing.
We were very fortunate to have pulled up behind this Amish buggy driven by a young boy.
On our return trip, we also came across this buggy driven by an Amish woman. I shot this image through the windshield of my car, and the next image I shot from the road.
In the afternoon, we headed over to Jay Peak. I took a vertical and a horizontal shot from this location. I like them both and decided to post both of them. Do you have a preference?
My friends took the gondola up to the top of the mountain. I decided to stay below on solid ground, as I'm not a fan of heights.
It was a glorious Fall day, except it was very hot and humid. This hot and humid weather played a role in how the foliage played out in the NEK. The very hot and dry weather caused the leaves to drop prematurely at some elevations. As I wrote in a previous blog post, the 2023 foliage season in VT was really crazy.
However, there was still color to be found!!! More images in the next blog post from Fall 2023 in VT. Stay tuned!
It is amazing how the saturation differs between camera and phone.
ReplyDeleteI feel the vertical photo of the mountain has a more majestic impact.
Fantastic shots all, but the buggy is stellar.
On this west side of the Green Mountains, the foliage in Vermont this year has been bordering on spotty, places good while other areas are not as great as the colors have been in the past. The window of peak foliage has been also very narrow. At the lower elevation where I live closer to Lake Champlain, peak, I think, is a few days away.
Hi Salty. It's great to hear from you. Yes, it's been a strange foliage season for sure, I'm sure all of the Summer rain has something to do with this, as well as the warm temperatures in October. I'm glad you liked the buggy shot. It was a very good unexpected find!
