p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Fall 2012 flashbacks


I've been exceedingly busy lately and haven't even done much on my fall 2013 pictures, but while browsing through fall 2012, I found a few that I had left on the back burner last year. So I took an evening to see what might come from these. If nothing else, its good to revive my memory of getting these shots.

1. Lindy Point. I rushed out to the point to catch what looked like it might be a good slot sunset, but it pretty much fizzled. This was the high point and lasted about 2 minutes.

2. Elakala Falls. The stream appears to disappear from this angle!

3. Elakala Falls (Shays Run) #2. The night before the swirls had been composed of leaves, but rain overnight swelled the flow so the leaves were gone, replaced by foam. This is a longer exposure than I would normally do, to try emphasize the swirls, but the texture of the falls didn't suffer too much. This picture can no longer be taken, since Sandy downed trees around this falls a couple of weeks after I was there.

Comments and suggestions welcome.

Hey Dave,

All 3 of these are cool shots. I like them all. My favorite is probably #2, but all 3 really are good!

Nice set Dave! It's tough to pick a favorite but I'm leaning toward the third one myself.

Dave, I too like all your images. I'm really digging number 3. Why? Possibly because you captured nice colors, a sense of motion in the water...and the water does not appear to be blown out, and the overall composition. For number 2, double check you WB...it just may be me, but seems a little warm / greenish, maybe due to the moss, but still a good image!

Thank you, Jim, Mike and Dejan. I guess it sometimes pays to explore the images initially rated as second tier. Dejan, I went back to the raw on #2, and I think the WB is "right" in an objective sense: the RGB of the waterfall in the background are within a level or two of each other, so if that is a good white reference it is on target. The foreground rocks are warm to begin with and are covered with a layer of moss and lichen, and the water is tannin-tinged, so that probably tends to dominate the impression of the overall color. But adjusting the temperature slider a couple hundred degrees cooler also looked good, and I may do that for future versions of this. Thanks for pointing that out.

That first shot is beautiful. Awesome mood with that fog rolling in. It would make a great print.

Killer shots Dave - I like 'em all. I went to BW this spring and tried to get a shot of Elakala #2 but yeah, it's covered in branches.

Great shots indeed. No. 2 is my favorite. The water feels like a bunched up ball of silk.

Nice set. #1 does it for me. I like the feeling of being on top of the world and all is well.

Will the rangers allow anyone to 'volunteer' their time and talent to cut away the fallen trees at the falls?

Thanks for your comments, Helen, Justin, Steve Maji and Ron. Steve, I didn't go down Shays run this years, so I haven't seen the damage first hand. Did you go further down, and is it as bad at the lower falls?

Ron, while this isn't official wilderness, it is off trail and accessible only by scrambling, so despite our yearning for a clear view, it is probably best to leave it as nature left it.

I'm glad you took these out of the cupboard Dave, they are certainly worthy of an outing here. Well captured one and all.

Very nice series. The subtle colors work surprisingly well in #1 and I really like #3

Dave, great set #3 is my favorite but they all really rock. The comps and front to back detail on all the images are really nice. Regards,

Really nice set Dave. I like all three.
I tried to get to Blackwater earlier this year but got hung up at Falling Water up north of there.
Keep up the good work.
