Waterfall Wednesday 3/1/2023

I am starting today's falls out with a deep rework of an old visit to Palouse Falls. These falls can present some simply rotten light if you visit during the wrong parts of the year and time of day. This visit was one of those days where the sun is almost behind the falls from the viewpoint and I had no way to frame the shot without the glare at the top of the frame so a heavy crop and a lot of clean up was necessary for this shot to work.

Pile on and lets celebrate falling water

Thats a really good take on the falls, you have the essence of it.

Thanks Ben - you had more opportunities to visit there than I have so far. I need to plan out a new visit sometime.

From my Oct trip to Northern Scotland. A hike through a trackless wood to a waterfall marked and named on the map, this is usually a good sign. Unfortunately it was impossible to get into a good position to show it at its best. Ken

 

[Ben Egbert]

That last one works best for me

Beautiful image Alan. Trying to get good light for waterfalls is a frustrating business. Ken

Anything other than early morning or sunset is hard at this location unless there are cloudy skies.

You might not have been able to get the best view but you did get some good ones. Especially the last two.

Clouds might be hard to come by out there

Nice patterns to the cascades of these falls. Very symmetrical.

Beautiful fall leaves flanking the falls. I like this scene.
