Just got back from an amazing river rafting trip through Cataract Canyon with Western River Expeditions. It was incredible! Being in such a remote area was breathtaking. My friend and photography mentor showed me a photo where he'd stitched together 13 focus stacked shots, so I decided to give it a try on a low pressure shot (such as one ruined by footprints!). It's three focus stacked shots stitched together. Not bad for a first try!
I got over to Cataract Falls in Marin with Ryan L. just before the next round of storms beset the bay area. I've been to this spot several times over 4 years to shoot this bridge and falls but never had enough water until now. The falls are flowing full and fast along the southern slope of Mt. Tamalpais.
This is just one in a chain of falls rising steeply from Alpine Lake. The smell of a healthy forest and the roar of the flowing water is enchanting.
Lens is the A75mm f/2.8 on the 645Z. This is a multi-shot pano & 2 exposure manual blend. A circular polarizer was used to cut some rock reflection and slow the shutter for a more pleasing water render.
Thanks for visiting!

I've been to Cataract Falls so many times but have never seen the light hit the trees quite like this. And actually I don't even remember those trees even being there... haha

Later in the summer and fall (or when the river is being diverted through the Duchesne Tunnel) this becomes a tranquil stream with numerous swimming holes.
That's obviously not the case now.
Took me to the eye specialist- apparently there are signs of emergence of cataract in her eyes.
Also, the eye consultant happens to be her friend from medical school, someone we have had a close family bonding over the decades.

Here's another from Cataract Falls, Marin.
This is a pano with the A120mm f/4 Macro lens on the 645Z. Cir pol and 2 exposure bracketed manual blend (0&-2), as per usual.
Thanks for visiting!
Just a short video show the less than spectacular falls in summer. This is a far cry from the torrent that happens in spring. (See that video for a comparison.)
I inadvertently switched the camera from Video to Photograph and so didn't get the videos I was hoping for! I'll have to try and get back again for another try.
There is a lake up past the other side of the falls. I have a photos of that as well. I'll post it next.
The open grass lands of eastern Washington bare the marks of the torrential floor that scarred the area thousands of years ago.

Hiking through Cascade Canyon of the Grand Tetons in the Autumn, you're bound to come across glacial melt which gives this valley it's name. It's quite an amazing sight to watch the water pour down from nearly two thousand feet above. The cataract, framed between the tall pine trees and the sun's rays highlighting the canyon wall, was a delight to experience on the adventure through the ravine.
The drop shown is about 18 feet (5.5 m) which is slightly less than the larger drop of upper cataract falls (20' or 6 m).
Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
In the afternoon we walked back down to the falls, then did the Tunnel Walk (Journey Behind the Falls). Another opportunity to get very wet from behind the falls!
This time we were issued with yellow ponchos.

Etta at Cataract Creek
Daily Dog Challenge: Dear Diary ... this is one of our favourite spots, especially on a hot day!
Victoria Falls is a waterfall on the Zambezi River, located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It is one of the world's largest waterfalls, with a width of 5,604 ft. The region around it is inhabited by several species of plants and animals. Archaeology and oral history describe a long record of African knowledge of the site. Although known to some European geographers before the 19th century, Scottish missionary David Livingstone identified the falls in 1855, naming them Victoria Falls after Queen Victoria. Devil's Cataract, on the Zimbabwe side of Victoria Falls, is the lowest of the five Falls, with a drop of 60m.

Part of the Blind River. We can go all the way up a trail along the right side of the river, to the actual falls, but at this time of the year, one can't cross a spring runoff tributary that goes across the trail. Maybe later this year I will go back and get a closeup video of the actual falls. (Cataract is the name of the falls.. which is redundant because cataract means falls. : )
