A view of Rainbow Falls in Stehekin, where we vacationed over the weekend. We rented bikes to ride to these falls, so I was traveling light with camera gear: just the lens on the camera and no tripod. It was probably good for me because I tend to present whitewater in the same way each time. A short shutter speed here is a nice change of pace. As for the rainbow part, I'm told that if the sun shines on the falls, the mist creates a rainbow. It was sunny on our ride, although you certainly can't tell it from this photo. I wonder how often the sun shines on these falls. Maybe we needed to be there earlier in the day. I also wonder how many falls get the rainbow name. Lots, I'm sure.
Nice photo! I just love waterfalls.
ReplyDeleteI find traveling light with the camera gear is the way to go. Unless going to a place you might not see for a long time to come. I love your shot here of the natural action of the water, rather than the slow-shutter silkiness that so many photographers go for these days.
ReplyDeletethat's neat. :)
ReplyDeleteThe sharp-focus water in the foreground contrasts nicely with the misty look at the back. I've never really been a fan of that silky look though.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to get away from our regular tools sometimes...Beautiful forms and values here as well as the falls! What a great weekend you had!
