Travelled from Winthrop to a small town (?) called Evans in North East Washington. Not a lot to show for the day......the small falls in Kettle Falls, and a nice moon at Evans Campground later that night.

Beautiful set. In #1 is that highlight in the center a sunbeam? #2 is slightly grainy, but I like the color with the moon and the lake. The waterfalls are composed well.

Great catch in the 1st, Andrew. The sunbeam is indeed casting delightful highlights on the water.
I might be tempted to crop some off the left....say to just left of where the falls enter the scene at the top? Just a thought.

I am always trying to get the ideal shutter speed for cascades and waterfalls. This seemed ideal for the highlighted spray. What was it?

HI Craig, shutterspeed was 0.4 sec at f22.....I didn't have my tripod and I was in a very awkward spot to try and handbrace the camera. Reduces down OK but couldn't do a very large print. I am still learning all about waterfalls, this trip was my first chance to shoot them (we had many chances on this trip!) so I was trying many variations, some worked, some not so good!
cheers Andrew

Man you guys really put some miles in on your PNW trip you guys were just about at the Canadian border. Really like both of these some cool light on the Falls and another great sunset, with some great colors

Great shots Andrew. I really like the splash of light in #1, it sets the shot off beautifully
