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?
I am taking off tomorrow morning (earlier than most sane people would be waking) to teach a workshop with Aaron at Proxy Falls and Sparks Lake. From there I will be gone the rest of the week on a road trip down south, so most of you I will not "see" til I get back. Don't do anything I wouldn't do while I am gone. ;-)
See you all when I get back again.
The beautiful & Amazing Proxy Falls. I am proud to say that I made it through this entire day of shooting without falling down or breaking anything. :)
Our best workshop of the year, The Southern Oregon coast is coming up in just a few weeks. We will be visiting Cape Kiwanda, Thor's Well, Seal Rock and many more amazing locations along the coast. If you are interested you know what to do....

Haven't been able to get out and do any shooting as of late, Or this year even...But hoping to change that soon... But it has prompted me to dig back through the photos I took in 2011, and find this shot to process of Proxy Falls, Oregon...
Oregon's Proxy Falls in the spring. You can't tell from this image, but the waterflow was so intense that this was a close as I could get and still be able to fire off some shots without my lens getting totally soaked within seconds. As it was, I had to furiously wipe the front element of my lens between each shot. One sure fire way of distinguishing whether a landscape photographer is from the Pacific Northwest is to watch their technique when it comes to wiping water off their lens. The ones trying to do it with just one towel aren't the natives!

my bf/sidekick finally agree to pose in front of camera, with one condition, it has to be a silhouette, because.. he is .. an ugly monkey!! ha ha just kidding
anyway it was windy like crazy.. when we took this shot, only took a couple of shot before the sun finally went down on the horizon.. should've compose it better but i guess this will do. Have a great sunny weekend!! :D

Another snippet of Proxy. I really wanted to concentrate on the moss in this shot, as the bowl beneath Proxy is so lush and green and packed with moss over everything. The water from the falls of course plays an integral part in that, so I chose to include a bit of the falls, but really this shot is about the moss.
And yes, before you ask Aaron, this shot was taken within 15 feet of you. :-p
I have created a lot of photographs over the last few years...but...I think that I have a new favorite.
A lot of effort went into this one and I think it worked out splendidly. Also, it's photos like these that make sleeping in a rental car on the side of the road worth the trouble.
Detail shot:
I've seen so many nice takes of this falls that have raised the bar pretty high. But hopefully ya'll like it. The goal was to capture some close-up detail of the "blocky" area on the right side of the falls.

This beautiful 225 ft. waterfall in the Oregon Cascade Mountains has long been on my bucket list. Gotta say I was real disappointed when I finally made it there less than a couple of weeks ago and the creek level was so low that only half the falls was flowing. Oh well, I concentrated on more intimate shots of the falling water this time around.
I wanted to visit this place for quite a long time and finally made it here a couple of weeks back. The falls absolutely blows you the very 1st time you see it. The sheer size and intricate twists and turns in the flow of water is indeed awe-inspiring!
