If you have any photos of Bucks County, PA to share, please feel free to post them in this thread.
Quite often the tourism for Bucks County, PA advertises it as Scenic Bucks County. When the leaves change, it can get quite beautiful especially if there isn't a Nor'easter that rolls through (coastal storm that comes up the east coast of the US and affects New Jersey as well as Bucks County and Philly)--Nor'easters easily blow the beautiful fall leaves right off the trees with the hurricane force winds.
Although peak season in Bucks County isn't until the last 10 days or so of this month, there are some beautiful sites to see. This is one of the 13 covered bridges that still stands in the county. Lots of the colorful leaves were actually brought out in post processing--Photoshop Elements 10. I intentionally underexposed -0.3 stop for greater color saturation. The EXIF data is posted below this photo.
In another thread, I asked if anyone ever tried out an Intensifier Filter on a DSLR (it enhances the reds and yellows). BackdoorHippie said he didn't think it would be necessary especially if using a Circular Polarizer, and he's absolutely correct! If I can pull out this much color so early in the fall season, imagine how much more colorful the scenes will be later this month!
I have a few more photos that I will be adding over the next week or so.
