UPDATE: EVENT PUSHED OUT TWO WEEKS DUE TO DELAY IN FALL COLORS. STAY TUNED AS WE MAY EVEN MOVE BACK OUR DATE FURTHER TO SUNDAY NOV. 7TH DEPENDING UPON LIGHTING CONDITIONS.

Southern Ohio was expected to be at peak Fall colors the weekend of October 23. However foresters say due to the warm weather the first half of October, the date for peak colors will now likely fall between October 30th and into next week, and now apparently further.

There is a $5 day fee to enter Sharon Woods to park inside unless you park nearby and walk to the lake (the park system can use your donation). We will meet by the boat house but then quickly more to the locations we feel are best for the lighting.

In the event of rain the event will move to Sunday.

Don’t want to shoot at Sharon Woods? Find your own best location (but try to find water to provide reflections for double the color). You might also consider driving over to the Heritage Village and capturing colors with the historic buildings afterwards.

Be sure to bring a tripod to get the sharpest possible images.
