Mystical Falls
Posted by john4jack (Corvallis, Oregon, United States) on 10 May 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers. (Ellie has all of her boys here today.)
***********************************************************
Today begins a series from my Columbia Gorge Workshop. The opener is one of the magical, mystical waterfalls. Please don't ask me its name (I'm terrible with names); all I can tell you is that it's not Multnomah Falls.

truly magical. I look forward to seeing all in the series. The range of colors and texture in this photo is quite astounding. Well done.

@Bill Jennings: Thanks, Bill. What is amazing to me is that I did not need HDR (which I did need for many of the waterfall photographs); the camera was able to capture the full range of light.

Craig from Vacaville, California, United States
A majestic fall! Well done! It is better without the HDR!
10 May 2009 10:31am
@Craig: I only use HDR when the range of exposure exceeds the capacity of the camera. If I create the so-called HDR effect, it is sheerly for fun.
Marie-Hélène Ammor from Casablanca/Paris, Morocco
Really superb ! The change of texture of the water from height below is very beautiful !!

I have always wanted to see the Columbia Gorge area. I have been told it is a beautiful area, and your photo proves it. Very nice.
10 May 2009 12:52pm
@B. Thomas: Thank you. Barbara. There are an incredible number of waterfalls in this area.
john4jack from Corvallis, Oregon, United States
Thanks, Barbara. Noticing on your About page that you were an art teacher, I hope that Arlington still has a school art program.

@Denise: Thanks, Denise.
Don from spokane, United States
This is a beautiful falls with the high amount of water. There are so many falls along the gorge, it becomes never impossible to remember them from pictures. It's a marvelous river gorge! This is a fine shot of one of the very pretty falls.
10 May 2009 1:28pm
@Don: Thanks, Don. With the heavy snow pack, all of the falls are booming.
bluechameleon from Vancouver, Canada
Beautiful shot Jack! I love the sharpness and detail of the water at the top of the rocks...and then it over over the edge in a blur of motion. Excellent!
10 May 2009 2:06pm
@bluechameleon: Thanks, Sharon. With your area getting an even heavier snow pack, all of your falls should be going crazy about now.
Eric Rousset from Grasse, France
Nice waterfall, looks like mine ;-))

@Eric Rousset: Your falls is spectacular, Eric. The falls in my photograph here is definitely not as high as is yours, but I do think that Multnomah Falls well could be.
@Mariana: Magic indeed! Thank you.
@Daniel: It's at the eastern end of the falls area and is close to the road.
@mo.langel: Thank you, Mo.
Diane Schuller from Hythe, Canada
excellent clarity Jack -- a fine rendition ... it's so sharp that it could pass as a slide. Well done!
