    Default Elowah Falls

    My favorite Columbia Gorge waterfall.
    An accidental shot that turned out well I thought.
    I fell crossing the creek, did not get camera wet but accidentally turned the setting to a programable setting on my D7000, That I use on dark winter mornings with auto iso.
    So, after I took this shot I realized it when I looked at the info, but it turned out the best of the morning!
    1/30
    f16
    -33
    iso1600 (really)
    The D7000 is known to shoot high iso, but i would never really use it this high.
    No noise reduction used.

    Hey Dan,
    I know this falls and have been there myself so I like the bit of unusual angle. I do feel that this image is a bit divided.....with the bushes on the left and the empty space on the RT. If possible moving right and getting the curve of the flow and perhaps vert......would make for a more dramatic comp. I do like the lushness and colors look good and I also think you chose a VG SS to keep some depth in the falls. Well done overall but I do think this would have been stronger as a vert.

    I agree completely with crop suggestion, although with the really high iso, I didn't really try.
    There was also a ton of spray with the big water still coming over right now that the crop also shows a few lens spots. The comp does look better though,
    Thanks.

    Hi Dan,

    Much prefer the second image. Beautiful falls and image for the same reasons as Roman and Dave suggest.

    Dan - repost takes it up a notch. Nice colors and comp. I like the inclusion of the bridge.

    TFS,
    Rachel
