Beautiful

Nice pic Jeff! Dropped it into lightroom for ya

Gorgeous, gotta be NC!

Wow! Thank you Deqlyn.

I need to look into Lightroom, wow. Is it usable by a novice?

There is a learning curve, but it's way easier to use than Photoshop; you can do neat stuff with it, I wouldn't be without it (as a not-serious amateur photographer). Trouble is Adobe's subscription model for their software, you have to pay a monthly fee.

Yes very usable. In this case I just hit "auto adjust" then jammed up the vibrance which boosts the colors. Probably too much as Im guessing the real thing wasnt quite that colorful and contrasting. But auto fixes about 90% of my cellphone pics.

If you can slide a digital bar, you can use lightroom. The hardest part is saving the stuff. They finally renamed the export button to save in the new update.

Just noticed you caught a nice snap of leaves falling to the left of the chairs in the shadow. Really great pic.

My wife and I own property in Mountain City not to far from you. We were up there last year during the fall and it was beautiful.

Jeff how is your lifestyle change going? I think that thread dropped off and Ive been meaning to ask.

Doing well, thank you for asking. I’m halfway to my goal havi;g lost 46 pounds so far.

I came up Sampson Road last Friday and it was just starting to color up. I love it up there. We noticed some places for sale nearby, and my wife and I are talking about buying something up there to put a camper on for the weekends.

Yup, that is just about where we are at as well. My favorite time of year.

In Brevard next Thu-Sunday for some much needed mountain biking time, can't wait!

Makes me think of the old Commander Cody song "Those old Kentucky hills of Tennessee"

Love the color but hate what follows fall. Leaves are dropping pretty fast in Louisville so yesterday I put gutter guards on my house. Bought gutterglove brand from Costco and job turned out pretty good.

N.E. Georgia had nothing to offer last weekend. I believe the winds from that hurricane stripped leaves off every poplar tree in Rabun county. We did drive the Coweeta Lab Road though and saw some color.

Love it Jeff! Wish I could make it to the mountains this year. I still want to visit your store. You hooked me up with Panthers tickets two years ago in one of your karma's.

Ah, hmmmm, what picture?

3 hours later: pic pops up. Very nice pic! That lightroom perks it up considerably.

Is it me, or are the leaves turning a couple of weeks later than usual? They are just now starting to fall significantly.

Up here it seems that it started late and is changing faster than normal.
