Waterfalls and Fall Foliage
I have been meaning to get to Thacher Park in Voorheesville. There are so many beautiful spots to take photographs of, one being the Indian Ladder Trail where there are two waterfalls.
The foliage is now post-peak in many spots across the Capital Region, but the colors are still pretty vibrant.
Here are some other photos from the hike:
Jack-O’-Lantern Festival
It was a fun evening at the Hallowed Harvest Jack-O’-Lantern Festival in Altamont, New York. I was curious to see how my iPhone 13 Pro would take pictures in extremely low-light environments. I was really impressed with the quality of the photographs and is comparable with my DSLR.
Overlooking Albany
I shot this from the office overlooking Albany and the Hudson River. I love the cloud pattern and how it contrasts with the sun-setting sky.
Macro Maple Leaf
One of my favorite parts about fall is seeing the vibrant colors of the leaves. The beautiful colors are a sign of change, a part of life that many of us fight due to how sometimes uncomfortable it can be.
This is why I love fall because it is a visible reminder that nothing in life is permanent. I saw this maple leaf on a park table and was experimenting with my iPhone 13 Pro’s macro lens. It captured the details and color of the leaf, something that could be missed when looking from afar.
Vibrant Orange Leaves
This one tree near my house has always had vibrant colors in the fall. Last year, I was not able to grab a shot of this tree due to how quickly the leaves fell off the tree. I learned the hard way that you should always have your camera in case you come across a photographic moment.
In fact, the same thing happened this year. A week after I shot this photo, the tree was completely bare.
The Sagamore
I shot this photo from the Lac du Saint Sacrement on Lake George.
On Lake George
Lake George always has a special place in my heart. Since a young boy, I have been coming up to Lake George with my family. I took this shot from the Lac du Saint Sacrement.
