From a recent trip, finally figured out how to get here at high tide. Bit of bushwacking involved.

D3x 16-35 @16mm f11 ND 1.6 sec

Nice shot, love the warm light. A great view at high tide. I was married over in front of that waterfall. I can imagine what it took to get there...bushwacking indeed.

I just posted a similar shot in Landscape Douglas. Looks like you were able to stick around for the light I wish I had!

You have no idea how many times I have been here waiting for some light Joe :wink: I desaturated the red a bit. It looked too unbelievable, there was a a crazy red sunset starting to happen just as I took this.

We sure have had some spectacular sunsets on occasion lately. This looks really good, Douglas. I like how you got some of the red glow on the horizon, too, along with the terrific light on the subject.

Love the shot Douglas; I'll have to get down there someday. Looks like high tide is the time to go.

Well Douglas, I've only been there once so far. Guess I should be happy with what I got! Desaturated the reds? Must have been a fiery sunset!

Exquisite light and colours here, Doug. The silky water and sky add great interest and overall a really excellent image.

I really like how the waterfall is not really the dominant feature in the photo, but all the lines and triangles direct your eye right to it.

The best I have seen from here.. everything lined up nicely for you.

Wow Douglas! This is incredible. The comp, shutter speed and post processing all look perfect. No nits from me.
