Waterfall Wednesday 8/13/2025

This is a set of falls along the South Fork of Silver Creek called Lower South Falls in Silver Falls State Park in Oregon. Taken during a fall visit several years ago. Neat park to visit if you into photographing waterfalls.

Pile on with your own falling water shots if you have some.

Here’s one of the waterfalls along the trail to Paiute Pass in the Sierra Nevada.

Neat setting for these falls.

I haven't done a proper edit of this yet, but I'll share anyway. Haystack Creek Falls along the Going to the Sun road always draws a lot of attention, with several cool drops and flowing under a bridge. I had never taken a photo of it that I liked. It is tempting to show the environment around it, because who doesn't like mountains, etc.? But that makes the waterfall look thin and small. If you get closer to retain the size of the falls, the angle is bad. For this one I stayed far away and used my 100-400 to just focus on the most interesting part of the falls.

Sweet - I like this one a lot Kyle and especially with this view showing the neat stone facade of the bridge. You picked a very interesting section of the falls for this image.

Your B&W work with this scene adds a deep and foreboding mood to the falls that places a nice emphasis on the beautiful cascades. I like the result.
