The three amigos came back and this year they had multiplied! There were nearly a dozen who came to town for the fall foliage. Large Groups of Photographers don’t stay in a large group long, they see different things and wander off.

This morning I joined the most late departing group. Others had left their nice warm beds much earlier and stumbled off in the dark for places they just had a hunch would be perfect in morning light.

 

Just before the sun came around the mountain they  hurried to their chosen spots. 

 

 

They set their cameras just the way they wanted them. 

 

 

 

  And waited.

 

 

 

 

 

They bracketed like it was going out of style.

 

 

 

As the sun came up You could hear the click click of the shutters all up and down the bridge.

 

 

 

Later they’d take their bracketed images and make them into one HDR image.

 

 

Burt saw the light change. I didn’t, I was busy standing in the middle of the road to get the picture.

 

 

That’s James from St Louis. Who needs a tripod anyway?

 

 

Johnny Nikon and

 

 

Paul are from the other side of the hill (North Carolina).

 

 

Brenda came from Florida.

 

 

Burt came from Missouri

 

 

Then they decided to pack up and go somewhere else… Where? They had an idea but planned on changing their plan if anything interesting caught their attention along the way.
