A difficult 1/3 mile bushwhack leads you to one of the most photogenic waterfalls in the Pacific Northwest. Little Niagara Falls might be small by comparison to the "real" Niagara Falls, but it is still quite large... 75 feet high and 80 feet wide.

I converted this to monochrome because, unlike most of my waterfall studies, there was very little foliage/greenery from this angle.

NOTE: When displayed at its default size, the photo may appear a bit "soft". FULL VIEW is highly recommended for better appreciation of detail.

After driving past this very distinctive tree (near Corvallis, Oregon) on many occasions, I finally decided to document it. I waited for a day with multi-layered clouds. Monochrome conversion seemed like a natural choice.

This is the last photo in my Jefferson Park series. This particular shot was taken from Park Ridge, which is 1000 feet (and two miles along the Pacific Crest Trail) above Jefferson Park. This viewpoint is considered one of the best in the state of Oregon. Mount Jefferson (10,497 feet elevation... second highest mountain in the state of Oregon) dominates the view. Visible just left of center is Russell Lake, which is where I took the Lupine Study. The light can be difficult due to the angle, so I converted this to grayscale in accordance with my WWAD rule ("What Would Ansel Do?")

NOTE: When displayed at its default size, the photo may appear a bit "soft". FULL VIEW is highly recommended for better appreciation of detail.

Wahclella Falls (Columbia River Gorge, Oregon USA) looks very different during autumn:



Just after I took this conventional photograph (1/3 second exposure)...



... I decided to try my neutral density filter for a much longer exposure (3 minutes), as I stood shivering nearby. As you can see, this created a completely different atmosphere.

Koosah Falls (Willamette National Forest, Oregon USA) on a chilly January day! Only a tiny bit of green was visible on the tree branches beneath the snow, so I converted it to grayscale.

Horsetail Falls (Columbia River Gorge, Oregon USA) generally looks something like this:



But it looked very different on this icy December day several years ago. There was a thick layer of ice and snow above the splash pool, and several brave people ventured out upon it to get a unique vantage point. (Look for the two red coats in the lower left corner of the frame.) This gave me an unexpected photo opportunity, because it is generally impossible to get a proper sense of scale for this 176 foot waterfall. I was doubly fortunate that they remained stationary during my 1/4 second exposure!
