With so many of my friends in the northwest posting waterfall photos, I felt compelled to re-visit one of my only waterfall shots that I took a couple years ago, the first time I visited Oregon.
Proxy Falls is hidden away in the mountains a little east of Bend, Oregon and it is absolutely incredible.
What I wouldn't give to be in Oregon right now to get some winter shots here!
Another shot from this magnificent show of nature...Even though it was a task finding this place, I'm glad I did it! I would never forget the impression this waterfall left on me.
Actually, it was delight in person when I finally got to see Proxy Falls today! Andy and I left our house at 2 am and drove 400 miles round trip to get to this monstrous beauty and she did not disappoint. This is a magnificent waterfall and one I highly recommend all persons visit at least once in their lifetime!
Proxy Falls, Oregon. Probably my favorite small portion of this incredible waterfall. it's protect in the shadows from the afternoon sun. I didn't want to leave this waterfall...... please let me know if the little dabbling of light in the front of the waterfall (lower Right) helps or hurts the shot.... I'm 50/50 right now.
We decided to do a mini road trip yesterday through Central Oregon. The part I looked forward to the most was revisiting Proxy Falls. It's been quite a few years since I've been there and It was just as breath-taking as I remember it. Definitely a must-see for Oregon waterfall lovers!
Getting to see Proxy Falls in person was awesome. It was so large and beautiful. It was pretty tricky getting this photo, since there was so much mist flying around, but it definitely paid off.
This was winter 2 years ago, one of the coolest things ive witnessed here in Oregon. Proxy falls is already one of my favorite waterfalls, but seeing it frozen over was pretty amazing. December 2009 was probably the coldest I remember in my 14 years in Oregon.. I've only photographed here for probably the last 6 or 7 years so I wasnt paying much attention to how cold the winters got before that, still a pretty cold one.
..hoping we get a little snow here in the next few days
Out on an Exposure Northwest workshop with Aaron Reed and Zeb Andrews, a pair of pretty cool guys. What an amazing location! I was tempted to photoshop in a rainbow after seeing a recent posting by Justin Reznick, but I restrained myself. Reflected sunlight gave some of the water a slightly golden color.

Today was my first visit to beautiful Proxy Falls. It's a delicate cascading falls, perhaps more subdued this year due to the minimal winter we had, which translates to less snow melt that feeds the falls. Contrary to reports I had read that the mist from the crashing water will wreak havoc with cameras and lenses, there wasn't any mist and my lens was dry for the duration. Strange, but good. This shot shows a portion of Lower Proxy Falls, which is really spectacular when you're standing before it!
Lately I have been grabbing shots of the places I photograph with myself in them. Thought I would share one here.
Made it up to Proxy Falls for probably my 15th visit. Only living an hour from the trail head, it makes it easy to frequent this beautiful place. Tried to grab a fresh perspective from a little further downstream.
Located in the Willamette National Forest’s Cascade Mountains between the cities of Eugene and Bend, Proxy Falls is the very picture of Oregon. Dark, glossy rocks covered in verdant moss surround the two-tiered falls, which contribute to its magical feel. The waterfall is notable for its main drop of 226 feet which makes it one of the highest plunge waterfalls in Oregon.
