Waterfall Wednesday 8/7/2019

This is a bit of a story. Yesterday I decided to go and shoot at a local waterfall, Ashgill Force near Garrigill. Driving up through heavy rain I thought that the Ash Gill would have lots of water. I was disappointed to find when I arrived at noon that the water levels were very low. I could get down into the stream bed although the rocks were very slippery.
I finally made my way as close to the falls as I could and with much wiping of lenses and filters, as the rain was joining forces with spray from the fall I managed another shot. The rain was now very heavy and I decided to shelter behind the falls. I tried many shots looking out through the falling water but they aren't great. It was now almost 2 o'clock when a man dropped out of the sky closely followed by another 14. Canyoning, it looks like fun but my body isn't up to it now. I wish that I had tried different shutter speeds as I was more concerned with getting things sharp but with so many different people abseiling down I really should have thought about it, ah well always next time.
When I finally left at 2:40 the beck had risen many feet and looked as though it would continue to do so. Ken

Another Wednesday another Waterfall pile on thread

One of my favorite sets of waterfalls in the Quinault area is a small roadside attraction named Merriman Falls. I have made a point of stopping to take a few shots every time I go up to that area. I have posted some shots from there and this one is from a fall visit.

Here is mine. I am not sure if the name of this I am in Telluride and am on the way to another waterfall, or I was until the afternoon thunderstorms struck about 2 hours early. In a short lul between rain bursts I ran out with an umbrella and shot this a few minutes ago. I am fortunate in this mountain area to have a pocket of cell service so I can shoot, edit and post!
