A study in some of the finer detail of the massive Lower Proxy Falls, in Oregon's Three Sisters Wilderness.
Just got back from a short Rami Jabaji birthday roadtrip. Here's my personal favorite waterfalls in Oregon that we visited due to bad weather along the Oregon coast over the weekend and made some changes in our plan. Still remember my first time here when I left with quite a bit of damage. Slipped, fell, damaged gear, drowned a remote, ripped pants and a couple deep cuts. A year or so later, I have probably been back 3 or 4 times now and the falls has definitely changed alot probably due to higher water flows at some point.
I always wanted to show the sense of scale for this giant mist machine. Hope I was successful in conveying that here. Happy Wednesday everyone! :)
Here's an image of Proxy Falls that I shot while leading a private workshop last spring. These falls were pretty difficult to shoot due to the heavy runoff, but it made for some pretty great telephoto scenes. Any comments are greatly appreciated. Chip
Due to more strict enforcement of their rules, Flickr has asked me and many others to take down info such as links to personal websites and workshop information. However, it is still allowed to have such information in one's Flickr Profile.

My journey to visit Proxy Falls in Oregon wasn't an easy one.
It was on the third day of the Oregon solo road trip. The day before this day, I camped at a place that is about 1.5 hours away from this waterfall, and my original plan was to shoot a sunrise near where I camped, and then headed out here. However, because the weather was clear blue sky for the entire duration of my trip, and I knew that if I stuck to my original plan, I would made it to this waterfall probably around noon, and the sun would be high on the sky casting harsh light onto the waterfall -- a nightmare to photograph waterfalls. So I then made the decision to give up my original sunrise shooting plan, but instead left my campsite at around 5:20 so I made it to Proxy Falls before 8am. You can still see in this photo that the upper portion of the waterfall was lit up by the sun, but not too bad to ruin the shot. Glad I made the right decision in the field and captured this image.
Another shot of Proxy Falls, located in the Three Sisters Wilderness area of central Oregon. Thank you for the views, comments and faves, they are always appreciated! Have a great Tuesday! :-)
This waterfall east of Eugene, Oregon near the Mckenzie pass is my favorite Oregon waterfall. The list of ones I've visited in Oregon isn't all that long though, mostly from the Columbia river gorge. But the 3 times I've been here (purposely not on weekends), I've had the place mostly to myself. It is a pretty amazing place. The drive took me 2 hours and 45 minutes from Tigard.
I called ahead to find out when the roads would be open. This is only accessible for part of the year due to snow. Proxy Falls is a breathtaking experience! Re-edited with updated techniques I've learned over the years.
Upper Proxy Falls, the often ignored upstream sibling of Oregon's iconic Lower Proxy Falls. To me this waterfall is every bit as beautiful as its downstream relative - the only disadvantage being the limited vantage point that you are afforded to shoot this waterfall.
Haven't posted anything in a long while, and certainly not any landscape stuff. Thought I'd dig this one out of the archives, as I've always liked it.

Not sure if I used a polarizer or not.

Digging another one out of the archives today I'm re-visiting one of my absolute favorite waterfalls. Here's a wide angle view of Proxy Falls in the Three Sisters Wilderness Area of Oregon. It's hard to get an idea of the immense size in this photo, both in terms of width and height. The falls is 226 feet tall and standing at the bottom of it as the only person there on a warm winter day last February was an awesome experience. I wish the falls weren't quite so overexposed on top in the shot, but I decided to post it anyway. Thanks for viewing my efforts and comments are always appreciated! Have a happy Thursday guys!

Headed back up to Proxy yesterday in a nice drizzly rain :) Nice to live next to such a magnificent waterfall..
Anytime I approach a waterfall, my first instinct is to look for ways to compose it so that it isn’t the only element in the frame. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll get my share of photos with the waterfall itself, but once those are in the bag, my mind veers to find more creative ways of presenting it.
Fortunately, I had some perfectly aligned fallen tree trunks to serve as visual guides to the waterfall. Who doesn’t love a great ensemble cast?
