Location
Just north of Mount St. Helens. Iron Creek Falls is just off the road.Time
Late afternoon on a very cloudy day.Lighting
Cloudy day, drove a long way to see if I could get some shots of Mt St. Helens and it was completely clouded over. After a very short hike off the road I set up the tripod and started shooting as it started drizzling on me.Equipment
Sony A7, Sony Vario-Tessar T* FE 16-35mm f/4 ZA. Gitzo tripod with a Really Right Stuff BH-30 Ball head. B+W XS-Pro HT Circular Polarizer.Inspiration
The sounds of the waterfall kept drawing me deeper and deeper. I was practically in the water when I go this shot.Editing
Lightroom adjustments and a bit of HDR in Aurora HDR. I didn't want to push too far into the heavy HDR look and tried to keep it look more natural.In my camera bag
Sony FE 35mm f/2.8, Sony 55mm FE f/1.8, Sony FE 24-70mm f/4, and Sony FE 16-35mm f/4Feedback
Take the time when you can. Try new things. Experiment, use filters.
