Upper North Falls at Silver Falls State Park is a plunging waterfalls. It is characterized by water cascading over a cliff and dropping vertically, forming a broad curtain-like fall. The falls are 65 feet (20 meters) high, with a large pool at the bottom.

Rather than capturing the entire falls I settled for one section in this handheld photo.

Nice. I try not to get tunnel vision and remember to look at the details.

I learned this lesson the hard way. I took a shot of a roaring stream…and when I got home I noticed this really cool, small “waterfall” in the big rock that the stream was roaring around. No amount of cropping in could save it. Every time I look at that shot now, I think “…you idiot…”

My excuse...I mean reasoning, is I shy away from photographing some locations that already have 12,567,589,454,202 photos just like it at the same location. Work the scene.

I went to this same Oregon State Park all full of Douglas firs, thick underbrush, ferns...et cetera. I challenged myself to come away with a minimalist photo is thick dense woods.

It's nothing fancy, but it kept me looking and thinking.

    Fast, sharp, and lightweight! A great lens
    This is my main workhorse of a lens and I love it. It's very light weight (only around 2.3 lbs) lens. I've been able to hand-hold it for an event...
