River

[ericgtr]

I took this at Silver Crk (OR) they have a bunch of great water falls that I was unable to capture fully because I couldn't get back far enough to get them all in :( However, I got a few river shots and this is one of them.

very nice photo, what were your camera settings, and did you use a tripod? i love the effect. great job. I wish we had more of those around here.

Thanks! Here is the exif info for you, I almost chucked this in the beginning but decided to put into PS and ran the "Equalize" function and it literally saved it, I made no other adjustments. It was also a cloudy day (no surprise in Oregon) which I relied on to get these types of shots. I believe I used my 300 MM (non IS) on this and I did have it on a tripod.

Model=Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT
Scene Capture Type=Standard

Thanks, here's another one from the same shoot. Again, I couldn't fit the entire fall into one shot unfortunately, this is as close as I could come to it.

wow, that waterfall is amazing! How high is it?

[ericgtr]

According to the guide (which has rad pictures BTW) it's 177 ft. I couldn't find a more distant location to shoot it from, that photo was about as far as I could get.
