Four Falls
This is from my archives. Since I haven't come up with anything worth posting in the last few months, I thought I'd post this one which was taken from Bridal Veil Park in the gorge. It was after a long spell of record rain fall.

It's the Columbia river. I used my 80-200 f2.8 Nikor at 200mm from the Oregon side shooting the Washington side.

It's "gorge-eouss." I like this one a lot. I've been thinking I need to get a longer lens for landscape shots like this.

I'd play with cropping to center the waterfalls horizontally, and intentionally vignetting just a little to emphasize the falls.

I remember the extact day you took this, Erik. I was up there too. An outstanding image you found here.

Very mystical and moody. I love it.

I thought this was awesome the first time you posted it and my opinion hasn't changed. Thanks for the reminder.

I have to say you had my hopes up when I checked in here and saw a post from you. Hope you're still on the road to recovery. I'm looking forward to some new stuff from you.

Thanks for the comment's folk's. I knew the old timers would remember this image. I thought I would post it for the folks that weren't members back then. As for my recovery, it's going pretty good and I've been working full time since early April. I just had scans from my neck to my pelvis and all is clear. I get checked every three months and it does get a little nerve racking. As for my photography, I'm having a tough time getting motivated to go out and and shoot. I've gone out on a few drives and just can't get the camera out of the bag. It's either I've shot it before or I have some kind of a block, kind of like what writers get. I'm sure I'll get it back but it's taking longer than I expected. I really can't venture too far off the beaten path because of digestive issues which are getting better. This really limits my options on where and what to shoot. I am playing some golf but I haven't been running.

That is one fine photo, Erik! I'm enjoying the earthy color palette and all the waterfall action.
