Dude--I freakin' love Fall

**grizzle6** · 09-05-2006, 10:28 AM

I used to like fall because it meant winter was on it's way. Now--I like fall for fall. I love the crisp air in the morning and the evening. I love how the sun gets lower, and the light gets softer. I love the telltale smell of smoke in the air. I love all my secret spots to shoot spectacular fall foliage. I love fall ski swaps, and ski sales. I love talking about new gear in the fall. I love ordering new gear in the fall. I love trying on new gear in the fall when it arrives, just to make sure it's legit. I love the fact that in Utah, fall can turn to winter overnight. I love fishing BWOs under golden aspens. I love seeing summer trails blanketed with fall leaves....

Griz I gotta tell you, you have some mad skillz with a camera. There are a lot of great photos & photogs on this site, but you bring some amazing shots.

**Rontele** · 09-05-2006, 10:31 AM

I agree. Fall is my favorite season.

Thank you sir.

Man, I am with ya. I love fall for everything you just said. Plus it is welcome relief from what I consider torcherous (sp) summer temps. It is great to get up and see dustings on the mountains and drink fuller bodied beer.

Great pics mang!!

**Tap** · 09-05-2006, 10:34 AM

nice pics griz

**truberski** · 09-05-2006, 10:37 AM

I completely agree and if I didn't before your pics would make me a believer. awesome shots! Leaves are starting to turn and cooler air is definitely here.

**Stymie** · 09-05-2006, 10:45 AM

Griz,

great shots as always!

thanks.

We're still a couple of weeks away here in southern NE. Leaves changing color means ski season is only a short time away...

Fall is like foreplay.

**ski_adk** · 09-05-2006, 10:47 AM

Great eye and technical expertise! I love seeing your photography.

**DJSapp** · 09-05-2006, 10:47 AM

What the hell is fall? It's supposed to be 97 today.

Nice pics, keep it coming.

**Crinkle** · 09-05-2006, 11:11 AM

friggin sweet griz-nizzle. colors should start changing around here in a week or so, I hope.

PREACH ON GRIZ!!!
Fall really is great. I’ve always liked it because it meant the end of summer’s heat and humidity and that winter was on its way. Now that photography is a big hobby of mine, I eagerly await fall and the leaves turning. I’ve got a couple new spots picked out this year that haven’t been put on a million postcards, so hopefully I can create some nice and unique photos.

Your pictures are amazing as usual.

Oh man--what I wouldn't give to get in the water right now. Haven't done anything but paint. cut baseboard, go crazy with a nail gun and any number of other home remodel tasks for the whole summer. Gonna have to be next year my man.

**Tectonically_Neglected** · 09-05-2006, 01:13 PM

Those are some incredible pics. Really nice, and captivate what's fun about fall nicely.

COngrats.

**snowsprite** · 09-05-2006, 02:34 PM

It's been very rainy & gloomy here for about a week now. I look forward to the sunny fall days, there is nothing like that. I love how the sun lights up the leaves like they are on fire. Especially if you are walking in the woods and the whole canopy is like that.

I still haven't gotten that pic of the neat tree that was already orange which I saw in VT 2 weeks ago, but I will. Hopefully on a very bright day, for that blazing effect.

They won't be as good as yours though, Grizzle. Nice stoke & thanx for posting it.

DEEEEFinitely some money shots.

Carpet skiing rules.

**coJibbin** · 09-05-2006, 02:39 PM

Octoberfest, thats one of my favorite parts of fall!

**midget** · 09-05-2006, 02:47 PM

Cool stuff Griz. love that shot looking down to heber? buy one of those 'intensifier' filters. you will be happy you did. yes you can add things in photoshop like that but why do it when you don't have to.

**telecincy44** · 09-05-2006, 07:55 PM

Gota love the classic long shutter exposure with running water!
But yes...fall is in the air and it feels glorious!

I'll second that. Those are some beautiful shots.

Fall has always been my favorite time of the year. The colors, the smells, winter right around the corner...I just love it.
