took a day trip down to the Oregon side of the Columbia Gorge over the weekend, with the intention of shooting Wachlella Falls. made it to the falls okay, but probably should have done it a couple of months ago. lots of water coming over the falls, couldn't get too close because the spray fogged my lens after one or two shots, and it was pretty gloomy down there in the canyon... i did manage some decent pics of the basin at large, though...

    First and last ones are quite nice, really like the green-- I love mossy textures. Does seem a bit on the cool side, not sure if that's what you were going for or not.

    believe it or not, the cool look in these is AFTER i'd already 'warmed up' the images! it was very cold, misty and dim in the gorge, and the sun had long gone behind the bluffs. i may try warming these up a bit more, and see of that helps... thanks!

    Nice Set...the 4th shot is my fav. Despite the weather, I bet it was venturesome being there.

    Lovely set! Light and detail set these apart! Mind sharing the setup? Body, lens, etc?

    thanks, Bryan! these were shot with a Canon 5D (original) and a Tamron SP24-135 lens with a polarizer. used a tripod, of course, with a remote shutter release. shutter speeds and apertures varied, but all were shot at ISO 100.

    Doug, it's a pretty short hike, a bit less than a mile from the parking lot. a bit of up and down, but not bad, even for a geezer like me! rolleyes1.gif
