We spent a few days in mid-November at Blackl Rock Mountain State Park near Clayton, GA, Rain and fog on the first day, but I got a good image of the ducks on Black Rock Lake. I got an image at the visitor’s center just to show the fog, and I repeated that at the cabin after dinner and the next morning. The fog meant no view from any of the overlooks at sunrise, and the rain/fog meant really slick trails. We hiked the Tennessee Rock trail and down to Hi-Ada Falls. I captured a few images along the way. Sunrise the last morning was clear, but the light on the mountain as the sun popped over the hill was very nice.
Not a lot of good sunrises and few other opportunities this month.
The NGPC visited Berry College in Rome, GA on a busy Saturday morning in early November. The idea was to both find fall color and scout in preparation for the North Georgia Camera Club Council (NG3C) shootout the following weekend. The sky was overcast, so the colors were not a vibrant as if the sky were clear, but still, it was a fun morning.
We had only a trace of rain during October. Not a record, but one of the longer dry spells in Atlanta’s history. So the fall color never really materialized as it has in the past.
A few sunrises that were way better than most, a bit of fall color, and the fall blooms in the yard
The month began with a few good sunrises.
The first 21 days of September had a few really nice sunrises. However, we’ve not had many clouds or much rain in that period. Even my weeds won’t grow for lack of water. So I’ve been up many mornings for a walk by the lake, and I’ve photographed whatever I thought was interesting.
I got up for sunrise most days this month, and I got a few images I really like. Not many days provided great color, but a few were well above average.
Another set of images from my morning walks at West Bank Park. We had a string of terrific light shows before the more recent cloudy mornings.
