Hidden Falls

[Ben Egbert]

This waterfall is in Big Cottonwood canyon east of Salt Lake. I hiked in here on Tuesday and captured several images one of which appears in this weeks waterfall Wednesday. Ken thought I had too much foreground. This has the same, but may be ok in a horizontal image rather than the vertical I posted in that thread. In any event I have more that are tighter for later showing.

CC welcome.

I like the patchy light and the color of the rocks in this scene.

I never visited these falls when I lived in SLC in spite of riding my bicycle in that canyon on more than a few occasions.

This looks great, Ben.

 

[Jim Dockery]

Ditto Alan's comments. Brings back memories for me of many happy days climbing and hiking in Big.

You had some good light there, Ben. Nice composition as well.

That's a cool little waterfall Ben! I like how it falls down that channel.

Maybe if the foreground was lit up a bit more it would fit in more? It still looks very nice, but the foreground feels just a bit dark.

I hate to drive to Salt Lake, so I seldom get there. But I also need to explore Little Cottonwood.

This looks great, Ben.

Thanks Douglas.

Thanks Jim, maybe the vertical I took with no foreground will be better.

Little Cottonwood is a much steeper canyon. It get's it's name from the fact that avalanches coming off of the steep canyon walls never allow the cottonwood trees to get as big. Little Cottonwood on a bicycle is a torture test of your legs and lungs.

I get tired driving my truck up there

 

[Jim Dockery]

Ben, I do recommend exploring Little Cottonwood Creek a bit. It was one of my favorite spots in the Wasatch. I spent many hours there after a day of climbing when I first got into SLR photography looking for compositions. The white granite boulders are very different from Big.

 

[Ben Egbert]

I plan to Jim. I want to do Bell Canyon Falls next.

Great image, Ben. So much texture, and it looks really tough to get any further up that creek. I like your shutterspeed choice.

Thanks Jeffrey, no I did not want to get into that water. I fell where I was as it is
