Waterfall Wednesday 5/15/2019

Time for another round of Waterfall Wednesday

Last week I spent some time wandering around on the trails just above Wallowa Lake in eastern Oregon and found a neat little chasm where the West Fork of the Wallowa River gets confined to a narrow channel in some steep terrain so almost endless waterfalls when you can find a vantage point to shoot them. Maps don't show a name for these features. This is a shot from an outcrop that afforded a place to plant my tripod.

An unnamed set of falls along the West Fork of the Wallowa River, OR.

Pile on with your own falls.

Here's one from northern Iceland that I never edited. Aldeyjarfoss...

Thanks for starting this Alan. After your visit to Spokane, I went back and dug up a shot from the Bowl and Pitcher overlook at Riverside State Park.

I have to admit I have always wondered where the name of that part of the park came from - I have stayed in the campground on several occasions now but always just as an overnight stop while going somewhere else.

Sunday was an Oops day. I don't often make technical mistakes but after spending some time with a camera club colleague showing him how keeping anti shake switched on when on a tripod took the edge off of sharpness I spent 30 minutes doing the same and shot in jpeg only.

It hasn't rained here for weeks and the rivers and streams are very low but I climbed up this little stream to see if I could get any shots. The first has vibration compensation switched on and is soft although at 1200 px wide I can get away with it. At the second location I checked and switched it off. I will return after some rain because I like little streams with falls of 2 to 15 feet, the colours are also odd due to the low leaf canopy lit by the setting sun.

I remember it as more dramatic, but probably because it was a real challenge for canoes and kayaks. Class 4 I recall

This is a cool one Alan. I got some fresh waterfall shots in Yosemite the last 2 days. I will process one in a little bit.

That’s a cool little ribbon falls Rick.

That’s a sweet looking stream!

From yesterday in Yosemite. Just one of many seasonal waterfalls flowing at this moment.
