Grizzly Creek Waterfalls

Just starting to look at the waterfalls I took…

Grizzly Creek Waterfall - 1 Grizzly Creek Waterfall - 2

Some of these just don’t look right in small jpegs – keep in mind I’m targeting these for large canvases (not the screen) and the color & texture doesn’t translate well sometimes :)

Mineral Pool

Saw quite a feew of thesse pools or ponds where I guess the mineral deposits have leached out into the water. Here is a small one on the edge of town with the mountains reflecting.

Leaning Shack

This is one of my favorite shots. A song plays in my head every time I look at the scene – if I remember the title of the song I may rename the piece. But its really nice ;)

Originally shot a cople time in the afternoon, but went back and caught in perfect light with cool clouds… but I had just taken a jpeg of me in from of another shack and forgot to set back to RAW with multiple exposure & by the time I reset everything that sun had gone behind a cloud. So I waited around for a couple more hours and caught the sun popping out a little each time. So this is a composite of the single frame jpeg  with some later multiple exposures :)
