The third waterfall that my good friend and fellow photographer Luke Tingley and I visited on a rainy morning this September turned out to be a lot of fun to shoot. Fun that is if you like struggling to stay on your feet!
Chasm Dash-Saint Mary Falls in Glacier National Park
The steady rain continued as we reached our next trailhead which made for a sloppy hike to Saint Mary Falls. It didn’t help matters any when my good friend Luke Tingley and I took a wrong turn (I am sure it was my fault!) not too far down the trail adding an extra mile to […]
Rocky Repose-Baring Falls in Glacier National Park
The weather couldn’t have cooperated more with our shooting plans than on this day in Glacier National Park. My good friend and fellow photographer Luke Tingley and I awoke to the sound of a gentle rain as our alarms went off to get up for sunrise. We got ready and headed out anyway only to […]
Rosy Morning Rush-Swiftcurrent Falls in Glacier National Park
The first morning my good friend and fellow photographer Luke Tingley and I went to Swiftcurrent Lake for sunrise was not looking very promising. The winds were whipping across the lake from the west and the sky was socked in with clouds to the east. We had arrived in the faint light of dawn and […]
Fractured Flow-Avalanche Creek in Glacier National Park
I visited Glacier National Park for the first time this fall. As I usually do, I spent quite a bit of time finding possible shooting locations and coming up with a general plan for the week. As in all national parks, there are the obvious places to shoot and in Glacier Avalanche Creek is one […]
Mossy Meandering-Proxy Falls in Oregon
I wandered along in the fresh snow trying to make out the trail in my search for Proxy Falls. Everything I had read said it should be easy to get to, but since I was the first one on the trail, I was having to really work at it. I managed to find Upper Proxy […]
Frenzied Flow-Koosah Falls in Oregon
A steady light rain continued to fall as I arrived at the parking area above Koosah Falls. I was already drenched after stopping at Sahalie Falls just up the road, so it didn’t really matter. There wasn’t any way I could get any more soaked so I packed up my gear and headed towards the […]
Secluded Tranquility-Upper Butte Creek Falls in Oregon
One of the highlights of any trip to shoot waterfalls in Oregon is a stop by Silver Falls State Park east of Salem. I did just that this morning. But this isn’t a picture of any of the falls in the park. Nope, this is one of a couple of falls on Butte Creek not […]
Shrouded in Green-Upper Proxy Falls in Oregon
A trip to Oregon to shoot waterfalls wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Proxy Falls outside of Sisters, Oregon. I had planned the day to hit Sahalie Falls and Koosah Falls along Highway 126 in the morning and then follow Highway 242 to Proxy Falls and then on over to Sisters where I would […]
Headlong Plunge-Tumalo Falls outside of Bend, Oregon
A little rain always makes shooting waterfalls a lot easier. It eliminates the extreme contrast from bright daylight shining on white water, intensifies the colors in the scene, and allows for longer exposure times to add a silky effect to the flow. I was very fortunate to have many rainy or overcast days on my […]
