The island of Kauai has some amazing waterfalls, most hard to get to -- and few visible from the road, like this one, Opaeka'a, which means, rolling shrimp in Hawaiian. It's off Route 580 in Wailua State Park, just west of the town of Wailua.
We were losing light when we got here, and I love long exposure waterfall shots, so I zoomed in and took an eight second exposure to get this image, which traces the falling water as it drops over the basalt rock formations 151 feet into the pool below.
The state maintained trail to the falls was blocked by a steel fence in 2006, when two women fell to their deaths on the trail. So while Hawaiian officials try to keep the public out, people still make the hike via 'secret' trails that have been blazed through the vegetation. It can be an expensive hike though -- if you get caught you could be fined $1000 and/or spend up to 30 days in the county clink.
I was content to not spend the money, not become a guest of the state for a month, and most importantly not face the possibility of dying to get the shot, so I zoomed almost all the way in to get this closer view.
It actually surprises me that while I have seen images from closer vantages points where you can actually see the pool from above and water level, and many wide shots from the overlook vantage points, I've yet to find one on flickr YET, as tight as I've captured it here.
Hooray, mine is unique -- for who knows how long.
let me first just say~he did warn me. i believe his exact words were, "you better not disrespect minnihaha~she will get you."
and, she did.
i shot this waterfall not once, not twice, not thrice~but FOUR F.N. TIMES!!!!
and, when it was all said and done~there would be blood and bone and many tears.
i will save that story for another day~until then, HAPPY WATERFALL WEDNESDAY!!!!!!
First time in ages that I have actually something to share for Waterfall Wednesday. It's Wednesday, isn't it? I am so out of the loop these weeks because getting everything together for the US trip this summer takes quite a bit of scheduling. Hope you don't mind my late commenting and such...
The image is the horizontal composition from nearly the same spot as the shot posted before; only a couple feet below and probably the only image in landscape format that I actually like. Setting up here wasn't the easiest task of the day but all the slipping and sliding was totally worth it.
I hope to be able to update the blog in the next couple of days with some interesting bits about this trip and some (hopefully) useful thoughts on polarizing filters; especially for those starting out.
Alright, happy Waterfall Wednesday, folks!

The raging current of Line Creek in Peachtree City, GA carves a path thru granite boulders on its way to the sea...sort of. Happy Waterfall Wednesday and enjoy the Fall.
Happy Waterfall Wednesday to everyone! Yay! The weekends almost here. Just thought I'd put up a tighter shot of the lower Lewis River falls in honor of today. Hope everyone is having a great day!
p.s. I'm happy to say that my babies are home and safe now. For those who don't remember, my camera tried to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff with my favorite 16-35mm lens. www.flickr.com/photos/jpeder55/4116628988/ The lens was snapped in two and the body had dirt and water in it. www.flickr.com/photos/jpeder55/4115831403/in/photostream/ Well, sent them back to the Mother Ship (canon) and they cleaned the body and tuned it up, and, they rebuilt my 16-35. All within one week of receipt! Amazing. What's doubly puzzling though is that it cost more to clean/check my camera than it did to put my "two piece" lens back together. (scratching head....)

Our clients needed something to have in their backyard so they could enjoy their time at home. If you could have us do one thing to your yard to help you relax, what would it be?

I meet this guy at the foot of Empress Falls back in April and took a few impromptu flicks of him (which I sent to him later). He seemed like a nice guy enjoying the Blue Mountains experience.
Happy Waterfall Wednesday!
Winter statistics in greater Vancouver: it is not uncommon for there to be 20 consecutive days with some amount of rain. The weather pattern known as the Pineapple Express often brings warm rainstorms in the winter. Also makes for great waterfall images off the Sea to Sky.

This impressive waterfall was a short distance off the trail between Pamelia Lake and Hank's Lake in the Mt. Jefferson Wilderness. I'm not sure if it has a name or not.
This is what a waterfall is about. It dominates the landscape, takes control of it, so there's barely anything else to look at if you can wrench your eyes away. It shapes the land around it; it falls with grace, texture, and proud dignity; it sounds magnificent long after it's no longer visible. Metlako Falls owns you when you're in its presence.
Happy Waterfall Wednesday!

Happy Waterfall Wednesday. Scan of a 6X7 Ektachrome transparency.

Happy Waterfall Wednesday everyone.
Weather miseries in the Pacific Northwest lead to little gems like this everywhere. It was a dark and stormy day when I rolled down my window and took this shot of this seasonal waterfall along the historic highway in the Columbia River Gorge. I kind of like the moody background of fog and leafless trees.
Happy Waterfall Wednesday!
Scouler's Corydalis at Coopey Falls, Columbia River Gorge, Oregon.
Not quite a 3 mile walk from the parking lot was this little gem. When I go back, I think a sunrise will light this baby up magnificently.
Take a dip!
Happy Waterfall Wednesday! To celebrate this special day, another shot of Blauenthal Falls from two weekends ago. I am still stocked by the amount of water that was rushing down the rock walls compared to the other pictures I've seen from there. It was like a flash flood and drenched me immediately.
I have updated the blog in the meantime, with my food photography photos and write-up. For more current news and some behind the scene pictures, "like" me on facebook.

Here's another shot from our trip to West Virginia last fall.
We got off the airplane and drove roughly 3 hours to get to Canaan Valley to photograph this majestic waterfall.
After getting approximately 3 hours of sleep, we woke up before sunrise and made our way to the state park.
Attempting to find a shot without having ever been to a location, in the dark is no small feat, but we were able to find two great locations to photograph the falls. (I'll post the other one a different week.)
This was the second composition that we found down on the viewing platform.
I've said it before and I'll say it again...the fall colors of West Virginia did not disappoint!
I was able to get this shot at sunrise on our first morning of our trip to West Virginia last fall. This was from a neat, suspended viewing platform tucked into the woods.
I'm very happy we made the decision to stop here as it was one of the highlights of out trip. I had a horizontal version as well, but I really like how the waterfall is framed in this vertical shot.
A post that I took last fall of Minnehaha Falls in Rabun County, GA with my contacts little m:), BamaWester, and Anne Strickland after meeting up and shooting with mcmillend and wizum as well.
for Waterfall Wednesday!!
Happy Waterfall Wednesday.
I decided to take a different approach to the day by posting a photo of a photographer taking a photo of a waterfall.
This is Purple Dude at Yocum Falls. I loaned him my chest waders for this shoot. He put them on and it was evident that he is a size or two larger than I am because he looked like Elvis Presley in tight leather pants... well, from the neck down anyways.
Cheers Purple Dude.
