New Hampshire Foliage Run

I went all the way up to Pittsburg NH to see what foliage is around and although there are some nice pockets here and there it is still a ways off from peak.

Still time away just loafing around the country side is better than being at home and working.

There are lots of farm stands and old countryside to explore if you get off the beaten path and look around

Talk with the locals and buy some of their wares and they will welcome you with open arms.

Send them a picture if they have email or a web site send a jpeg to them

they just might turn out to be good friends and a source for future trips

Cloudy days go outside

O K so it is a cloudy damp day here in the northeast. Does that mean stay inside.

Not on your life if you can make it to an area that can be helped by the conditions.

Cloudy days are good days to shoot Foliage, Flowers, Mamals , Birds.

Just about anything can have a good effect if photographed proberly in the conditions.

Try to not use to much of the sky in the pictures or to much of the reflected sky in a body of water. Other than that anything goes. Your exposure times will be slower so it is a good idea to use a support system of some sort IE tripod beanbag groundpod etc.

I actually prefer to Photograph Moose on a day like today as when it is sunny they can be a challenge to expose

Foliage is great to photograph and if there is a bit of fog even better

So don't sit around wanting a better day to go out and photograph Go out and photograph something that works in the conditions
