I was anxious that I hadn't photographed fall in the area, so I decided to visit the Billie Johnson Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve in Princeton Township to photograph the picturesque treeline at the lake.
I began my photography walk at the southern edge of the artificial lake. The early morning sun radiated a warm glow. It seemed the perfect day for capturing some fall colour. My focus was on the trees bordering the lake's edge. I set up my Fuji X-T3 on the tripod with the XF16-55mF2.8 R LM WR lens and a Hoya PROND1000 filter. I wanted long exposures with silky smooth water.
I strolled north along the eastern side of the James Sayen Trail (green markers) that loops around the lake, frequently stopping to take photographs. The snail would win if a landscape photographer and a snail were in a race. 🙂
Each step revealed a new perspective, a fresh angle, and an opportunity to freeze time in a frame.
I fine-tuned my photographs using Adobe Lightroom and Luminar AI to enhance the colours and highlight the details.
What a beautiful looking area. Great pictures.
Hi Rob, thank you. Happy Holy Days to you.
Wow! Those reflections are mesmerizing, Khürt. Nicely captured.
Beautifully captured! Love these two red leave, especially.
Good to carry your tripod.
Just when I thought I was about done with my photo walk, a group of bird watchers approached from the other direction.
I am a little jealous. Stunning scenery and brilliantly captured by you Khurt.
Testing back feed.
Khurt, I appreciate the growth in your photography over the past few years. Wonderful images!
Thank you.
