Indiana Fall 2023, Part 15 – Backroads and Forest

After my woodland hike, I drove to the old forest fire lookout tower on Tower Ridge Road in the Charles C. Deam Wilderness.  There were quite a few visitors and I elected not to climb the tower to get a wide view over the forest.  Instead, I hiked along Tower Ridge Road, shooting forest scenes along the roadway.

Indiana Fall 2023, Part 10 – Backroads and Forest

Fall Shadows, Indiana, October 27, 2023

Today I drove down backroads heading generally in the direction of a state forest and a wilderness area.  Along the way I stopped at a stream and shot a few images of the stream and wooded area around it.

Shortly after getting onto a roadway in a state forest, I parked in a pull out to have a look around.  I did not plan to stay long, but wanted to see what this area had to offer in the nearby woods.

Even though it was late October, it was a warm day and mosquitos were buzzing around as I walked down an old forest roadway.  Usually, mosquitos are not a problem here at this time of the year, so I had not brought insect repellant and frequent swatting and waving off mosquitoes was a distraction.

As I wandered along the faint roadway, it eventually turned into an official hiking trail.  I walked quite a way along this trail.  As I got deeper into the woods the mosquitoes became less of a problem, making stopping to shoot photos more pleasant.

Indiana Fall 2023, Part 8 – Autumn in Brown County State Park

Autumn 1, Brown County State Park, October 26, 2023

After my sunrise shoot in Brown County State Park, I drove around the park, stoping at various locations, walking along the roadway, shooting the autumn color.

I included the roadway in a number of images, mostly as a leading line, but also because the road through the forest just looked so appealing.  I hope I have not put too much of the asphalt into these images.

Indiana Fall 2023, Part 7, Sunrise Sequence, Brown County State Park

Sunrise A,  Brown County State Park, October 26, 2023

I went into Brown County State Park again for sunrise photography, this time stoping at one of the overlooks.  It was another morning with scattered clouds and good cloud color.

Shooting into the bright sky and getting a good exposure of the foreground fall color is a challenge and no matter how careful one is with the exposure and filter application, post processing of the images is a must.

These sunrise images have varying exposures, filter usage and post processing, yielding variations in the colors and details.
