| Elowah Falls |
I took a trip out to the Columbia River Gorge with a photographer buddy of mine so we could catch optimal waterfall photography conditions, which typically occur hours before my friends are awake, let alone ready to drive out to the Gorge with me. Also it was cold enough to drive most people away, although just about all the ice from my last shoot had melted. All spelled out a good time for some waterfalling!
 |
| Our first stop was Dalton Point for the sunrise. The sky didn't light up as much as we thought it would, but I still had fun shooting westward. |
 |
| Then we went to Elowah Falls, which is troublesome for photography. Climbing around here is one of the only ways to get a decent view. Still, the water is a little whitewashed here. |
 |
| The trail to Ponytail Falls continues by curling around behind it. This time of year it was raging and there was no avoiding lens mist. Still, I've never taken a behind-the-waterfall shot I like nearly as much as this one. |

| The end of our excursion took us to a lookout just beyond Ponytail Falls. The contrast made a hard time of getting the hole Gorge in one shot, but this mountainous reflection shows a little of how majestic the view was. |
