Challenge: Best of 2008 (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Nikon D300
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED
Location: White River Falls State Park, OR
Date: Aug 30, 2008
Aperture: f/11
ISO: 200
Shutter: 0.6 sec.
Date Uploaded: Jan 10, 2009

 This was shot at White River Falls State Park near Maupin, OR. I was originally there to shoot an old power house from the turn on the century. On my hike back out of the gorge the lighting was hitting just right. I used a Hoya warming Polarizer and a 3 stop ND filter to help slow the exposure. I did not use a graduated ND on this, just a single exposure with active D-Lighting enabled on my Nikon D300.

The lighting gives this great depth. I like the slow shutter and you've done a great job with the colors.

the light makes the shot - it is as if the sunlight is flowing over the falls

The slow exposure has certainly allowed the river to live up to it's name :)It can't have been easy controlling the highlights, well done :)

The water looks muddy. It might have been better in B&W
