To get this high vantage point, I had to scramble up onto the highest boulder I could find. I then extended my huge RRS tripod to about 6'5'' to get this angle. 1/5th sec shutter speed was chosen to keep a lot of detail in the water flow. I pre-processed the RAW file in ACR and then in PS did my creative edits.
This is a fresh perspective from popular Gorton Creek / Emerald Falls in the Columbia River Gorge. [+]
