My waterfall (unnamed) for this week was shot upstream from last week's waterfall along the Sweet Creek Trail in Oregon's coast range. The creek was running fairly high during this visit so delicate rivulets were not the order of the day. The leaves were more colorful than usual as was true for a lot of Oregon/Washington west of the Cascades last year.

A small cascade, part of Wahkeena Creek in the Gorge. I was drawn to the cube shaped boulder, which looks like it came from somewhere else and just plopped down here randomly.

One of my favorite aspects to Wahkeena Creek is how many interesting little scenes abound along its tortured path down the walls of the Gorge. I like your moss covered cube focus with this scene.

Another waterfall from Swaledale. KIsdon Force has 2 waterfalls, this is the lower and larger of the two. I found it difficult to get down the gorge, the last 20 feet is very steep and muddy but someone has tied a knotted rope to make it easier. I am unlikely to return as I could see just how easily a slip could happen. Two young men were having fun jumping in having a swim and getting back onto the rocks and doing it again. They asked if they should get out of the way or move their baggage, very considerate but not needed. I sent them the images. Ken

Neat looking waterfalls. Not sure I would like jumping in with a flow rate like this but I wouldn't hesitate to aim my camera in their direction like you did. The jumpers do lend a nice sense of scale to the scene. I like the shutter speed in the first and last images.

Alan, that's a gorgeous photo! Excellently made, with fine fine detail and beautiful colors. That's what it looks like taken with a wide angle lens. Is it from a tripod?
Tomorrow I will go to the valleys of the High Tatras to look for this favorite subject of mine. Excellent inspiration!

Tomorrow I will go to the valleys of the High Tatras to look for this favorite subject of mine - with the GFX 100s..
Excellent inspiration!
Thanks Peter - this is actually from last fall and shot with a Canon 5D MkIV using an EF17-40mm f/4L. I will be in this same location the week after next with the R5 MkII. Have fun in the High Tatras.

Thanks Alan. I will have to shoot with a Panasonic S1R with a Sigma 14-24mm lens. The GF 23mm medium format wide-angle lens is coming to me next week.
I wish you a good catch with the new Canon R5 MK II.
