Reply to comment by Sn4tch in Another fake foliage pic from a big influencer by Twombls

I was just talking to someone who said he went to VT and was disappointed in the color. I sent him pics from a few weeks ago of some of the most amazing color I've seen in the state. It wasn't oversaturated. He's like, "yeah, I guess there are some nice colors in there, but I was expecting better." I was like WTF are you on about?

Now I know why he was disappointed. He's probably used to looking at "photos" like these.

OMG these people. They plan their leaf-peeping weekends and then they complain about the colors. Like, you DO know that the color depends on environmental factors beyond our control, riiight? 🤦🏼‍♀️

We paint the leaves at night. They were understaffed this year. Next year we will paint them krylon orange like in this picture to make up for it.

Just wait until Vail paints Mt Mansfield white next week so they can open early.

Im on the task force for doing that. They are going to use an organic substance derived from seagulls.

Its a pretty common phenomenon. Especially because even vibrant foliage will look like shit in cell phone photos. So a lot of people come here expecting to take beautiful fall photos. And get BROWN.

I dunno. I thought my measly camera photos (S22 Ultra) showed the color pretty well. These are all "untouched," but I guess the Samsung algo might have done something: https://imgur.com/a/Xo2fM4i

Actually, the one with the pond was sharpened a little, but that's it.
