I've been shooting nearly every weekend but It's been awhile since I've posted here. Anyways, I spent 2 days down around the Columbia River Gorge and Mount Hood at the end of this past week. I had lofty plans but had to scale them back as time seemed to get away from me at a few locations. I was excited because forecasts were calling for mostly cloudy conditions but I ended up with full sun and not a cloud in the sky. Bummer..

On my way back to the Seattle area, I made a side trip to a trail along Siouxon Creek, a trail I learned about through a hiking forum. Once again, conditions weren't good for stream photography but I did find the forest to be quite nice..

    I LOVE #12--fabulous subject, composition, and light. The simplicity and power are a nice combination. Nice light in #16 as well. Enjoyed the series.

    You did very good given the tough lighting conditions. #12 and #13 are my favorites, one of these days I'm going to check out that spot on Mt. Hood.

    Thanks, everyone. I must admit that I had the most "fun" photographing #11 & 12. Rather than battling the light, I was able to capitalize on it and use it to my advantage. A great feeling!

    Only other thing I'll mention about #12 is that I used a 0.6 ND Grad filter (in addition to a Circular PL) to extend my exposure time. I wanted to smooth out some of volatility of the rapids around the rock. Ended up being 8 seconds @ F16.
