I kicked off the fall color season with a trip to the San Juan Mountains in SW Colorado. Things were not quite as far along this year as in years past but still plenty of color. I used to always go the first week of October but found too many bare trees in the high country so I started going the last week of September. Now I’m thinking September 28 to October 2 must be the best window of opportunity. For post processing it was just the basics of clarity, vibrance and a little luminence adjustment all in lightroom. I tried to only add saturation to specific colors in the trees because the sky was already over the top blue. It was nice to have the added bonus of a little snow from an early season storm.
