p.1 #1 · Upper Palouse Falls (3)


Here are three shots from the section of falls just above the main bowl at Palouse Falls. It's a short hike to this area though getting there is steep. It was pretty windy and occasionally blowing spray from the falls. The afternoon light was providing reflection possibilities, I just had to find some. Here are three photos from the area. I initially got carried away with highlight recovery in ACR but I backed it down to make the water look more natural. I hope it doesn't look overly bright. Any and all C&C is very welcome!

#1 I shot this reflection using the 24-105. I'm not sure about the story behind the concrete pad seen in the middle. There is an old pipe that run's down the canyon wall to this area, but a search online for a short history hasn't turned up anything.

#2 I liked the good amount of water flow and decided to get out the 24 TSE and play around. It was a bit wider than I wanted, but I found some scenes anyway. This is a two portrait shot stitch.

#3 This was my last composition of the evening. This is three landscape shots stitched.

Very nice. I have been there and this water is cleaner than I have seen this time of year.

I've been there too, but never thought to go up top. Nice shots, especially the last.

I like the first one. There's a lot of layers in it. Thanks for sharing

Three very different shots Aaron, I like the contrasting reflection in the first one, very unusual.

Cheers Ray

Thank you all for the feedback; it's much appreciated!

Stan: you should check out the area behinds the falls if you revisit...quite nice with lots of photo ops.
