My son and I took a drive up to Starvation Creek Falls this weekend to see how the fall colors were shoring up in the Columbia River Gorge. There's still a lot of green up there right now, but leaves seem to be dropping pretty fast. I shot this one at f-16 for 30 seconds at ISO 400 for the foreground and then ISO 100 at f-8 for .5 seconds for the background and blended them later in Photoshop. Cheers!
