Autumn in Bucks County, Pennsylvania: Landscape and Nature Photography

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”
Albert Camus

I love autumn in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  For photographers, there is so much to offer:  rolling hills, rivers, lakes, state parks, and historic architecture, all enhanced by the warm colors of fall.

I recently led an "Autumn in Bucks County" photography workshop.  We covered topics like exposure, composition, post-processing and HDR (high dynamic range) photography.  We spent one full day - sunrise to after sunset - in the field, photographing many of my favorite Bucks County locations. About a week later I got together with many of the participants to share and critique our images. Its always interesting to see how different people focus on diverse things in the same setting.  The group members had taken some really beautiful and creative shots.


With the exception of the Cabin Run Covered Bridge photograph (from October, 2014), I took all of the images below between late September, 2015 and November 1st, 2015 (the day of the workshop, when I took about half of these photographs).  That day, we started with the sunrise in New Hope, followed by several locations in Upper Bucks County: in Pipersville, we visited the Tohickon Creek, the Cabin Run Covered Bridge and surrounding area, and the High Rocks Vista section of Ralph Stover State Park.  After lunch, we visited the Fonthill Castle (Doylestown), the Frankenfield Covered Bridge (Point Pleasant) and ended with sunset views of the Delaware River from the Lumberville Footbridge (Lumberville).  For those interested in exploring Bucks County and taking your own photos, I have indicated the locations under each image.

September Mornings in Bucks County, Pennsylvania: Landscape and Nature Photographs

I'm a big fan of September mornings in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  Temperatures are beginning to cool down and trees show the first hints of autumn.  Morning mist gives landscapes a delicately ethereal quality.  All of the images below are in Bucks County, during the first two weeks of September, 2015.

If you are interested in expanding your photography skills, I will be running a "Bucks County in Autumn" photography workshop (in the field) on Sunday, November 1st.  This should coincide with the peak of fall foliage, and we'll see Bucks County's beautiful rustic landscapes, iconic covered bridges, rolling hills, and more.  Details will be coming soon.  To learn more, follow me on FACEBOOK, or email me at: Joshfriedmanphoto@gmail.com.  To see more of my photographs, visit my WEBSITE or my ETSY SHOP.

Autumn in Bucks County, Pennsylvania: New Landscape Images and Great Locations for Photographers

In  Bucks County, Pennsylvania, the temperatures are cooling off, and the autumn  foliage is warming up.  Trees that were predominantly green a few weeks ago are now a combination of gold, orange, green and rust.  Its truly a wonderful time for photographers in southeast Pennsylvania to capture the turning leaves, the rolling hills, the historic covered bridges, and the rustic landscapes.  Between late September and mid-October, I returned to photograph a few of my favorite Upper Bucks County areas. What follows are some of my new images in four beautiful areas.  If you have questions about these or other great photography locations in Bucks County, email me at:  Joshfriedmanphoto@gmail.com.  To see more of my images, or to purchase a print, visit my ETSY SHOP.
