Road Trip–Shepperd’s Dell
This is one of the smaller and less well known falls in the Columbia River Gorge. In fact, I had driven by this several times over the years without seeing it. It is quite lovely.

Multonomah Falls
Multonomah Falls are the best known of the Columbia River Gorge waterfalls. They receive many thousands of visitors each year. This was a 3 second exposure and, obligingly, the couple on the bridge did not move.

Horsetail Falls
Horsetail Falls is one of several spectacular waterfalls along the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon. I used a Variable Neutral Density filter to slow the shutter speed to 6 seconds to create the blur of the falling water.

The drama of water falling creates an additional energy. This photograph is a sepia treatment of McWay Falls south of Big Sur on the California Coast.

Energizing Movement
A slow shutter speed can suggest the flow of water by blurring the movement. A fast shutter can capture the energy of a single moment in the flow of water. This photograph was shot at 1/500th of a second. It is a detail of a small stream in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California.
