Here's a closer up shot of one of the cascades at Pillsbury Crossing taken that cold morning during our outing. This was my favorite stop of the day (probably because it was out of the wind!)
Hey Angela, Nice capture. I like the way you moved in a lot closer than I think the rest of us were doing. The ice rims in the lower left and upper right give good testimony to how cold it was that day. The golden color of the rocks is a nice offset to the water flow. This couldn't have been easy with how poorly you were feeling.

Angela, this is the best image I have ever seen from Pillsbury Crossing. You have the balance provided by the ice LL & UR, a very nice exposure selection showing water movement without stopping the action or turning it silky smooth. And you handled the mid-morning light extremely well, no blown highlights and plenty of shadow detail too.
This is one of my favorites of yours! Keep up the great work!
Very nice capture. I like your shutter speed to capture the "angel hair" water. I find that with smaller falls and cascades, between 1/10th and 1/2 sec work very well. I usually try both ways. Farther away, several seconds usually works better.
Nice job handling the highlights on a sunny day. The shutterspeed worked real well too, of course you might not have had much choice in that light without one of Wayne's fancy nd filters.
