last week I spent 5 days riding in the Tennessee mountains. I wasn't on my scooter but I thought I'd share some of the colors I saw.
All of these pictures were taken within 20 miles of Tellico Plains TN.

It was a fantastic 5 days of riding with friends. I took hundreds of pics. If you want more details you can check out my ride report at this link: https://advrider.com/f/threads/full-throttle-touring-150-through-the-rocket-city.647784/page-196#post-41111605 (https://advrider.com/f/threads/full-throttle-touring-150-through-the-rocket-city.647784/page-196#post-41111605)

Grew up in New England and don't remember reds that vivid.
Any idea if this is a typical year for foliage in Tennessee? Or one especially good?

I think the colors were exceptionally good during this time. I don't remember ever getting so many good pics of the colors.

Spent a week in Spencer back in July (without 2 wheels :(). Thought the hilly, tree covered landscape would make good fall foliage material, but have never heard it mentioned or promoted as such. Almost as good as New England, probably w far less traffic.

Just gorgeous photos Klav!

According to a popular genealogy website, I may have fairly close relations in Tennessee. It looks lovely.
There was another poster from the same state that used to post on here. A really nice guy. Wonder why he stopped posting.....hope he's ok.

Great photos Klav! What camera setup do you use for the riding shots? I come across so many scenes I would love to freeze a frame from as there is rarely time or space to safely stop for a pictures. Ive been in Tellico working on a rental property this month.

He takes many pictures on the move! Has a neck lanyard for his hand-held camera! He is a master at this! (I would crash/burn/whine/die if I tried that!)

So that's how! Time to bring out the old Nikon. Although, I think it has to slow a frame rate for anything crisp.

I use an Olympus TG5. As Crossbolt mentioned I have it hanging from a lanyard around my neck. It is Waterproof and shock resistant. It also captures colors better than any digital camera I have owned. I can take pics while riding. I grab it with my left hand, turn it on, point and shoot. I don't look at the view screen while riding, I keep my eyes on the road. I get a lot of pics this way that I otherwise wouldn't get. Even when I stop it's a lot quicker and more convenient that a phone camera is because its right there and ready to use.
The hardest shots to get are over the shoulder shots of the riders behind me. Most of those used to be junk but I have gotten much better with practice. Since I normally lead the group rides I go on, I have been taking a lot of over the shoulder shots.
Here's a pic taken while riding.

Thanks for the info. I've got a 2008 prototype Nikon AW100 divers camera that I use for riskier/rougher environment, although I don't trust the 50 meter waterproof rating anymore.
-
I don't use my camera underwater but before I got a waterproof camera I had to put it away when it looked like it was going to rain. I started out with a couple of regular digital cameras but they both got dust in them and jammed up. I also had an Olympus TG830 which also took good pics but it eventually died. It was no longer being sold so I went with the much more expensive TG5. It takes really good pics so it was worth the price.

Just a thought on cameras....
Factory refurbished camera can be a good deal.
But, honestly - I've found the very best bargains are with used cameras, in "perfect working order " from ebay sellers with a spotless record for same. Crazy, how little pricey cameras can go for on the used market. Their resale takes a sizeable hit, comparitable to a Burgman, or a Rover😊
