Winnie, Excellent angle on that one. Good B/W conversion too.

The LAST falls in the park....
Finally got there, it requires quite the climb/scramble to get to (technically, the trail to them is closed because of a landslide 5 years ago or so)...

It's unfortunate, because the last falls by far are the nicest

Great shots!! I got there earlier this summer but the lack of water made for crap pictures. I didn't think that the trek from the trail's end to those falls was too bad. There were a few spots where going in the creek was not gonna happen because of downed trees etc, but otherwise it seemed a decent creekwalk. The thing that got me that day was the heat, and being little water in the glen, there wasn't much relief.

Did you go up these last falls at all? If you go up on the right hand side to the first "ledge" in the falls, there's a really really cool little notch in the rocks to the right that offers a nice secluded "cove" where you can sit and chill for a bit. I definitely want to get back here in the spring.

Agreed! Definitely my favorite area of the park and you can always have it to yourself. If you arent up for the 4/5 mile hike the upper parking lot is right above these falls. The dam just upstream also creates a pretty interesting looking fall with water flowing in opposite directions.

By comparison there were 5 tripods (including myself) set up at the lower falls the last time I visited...

but at the same time the guy down below gave me a shooting location I'd never thought before to try later once everyone cleared out...

nice shots...I'll have to process some HDR of the upper falls as it was so dark, and the falls were flowing pretty good so I def. got some 'blow-outs' on the water. I did the hike from below to the top, but I didn't have time to get above the falls as it was getting dark. I'll try the upper parking lot next time, although the fall foliage is just about done...

Are you using Photomatix for your HDR? and do you process from a single RAW or do you change aperture when you bracket?

Wow! Had no idea there was more beyond that trail closed sign...figured it petered out.

Definately will have to head back there next year.

Love your second shot bremer!
