First shot from 2012
Technically not the first, but one from my first, recent trip to the Gorge. I went with three friends, and we hit Ruckel Creek near the end of our shoot. It is seldom I go down the the lower falls, but the light was right, and so was the water, so I took a crack at this composition.

Looking forward to greener days coming!

Canon 5D Mark II
Canon EF 16-35L at 16mm
ISO-160
1/2 second at f/22

Very nice image Ned. I really like the comp with the water running through the frame. Nice choice of shutter speed as well. Hopefully someday that log in front of the falls will get washed away!

I love the composition on this one Ned also the water is looking very nice. Great job!

Looks great, Ned! Really nice looking flow of water. 1/2 sec is a good ss for this.

Thanks for the comments! Yes - with the 5D2 I have more control with the water as ISO changes are not an issue now. With the old 1D2 noise was horrible beyond 400...
