What an amazing trip! I just returned from a 4-day excursion with my friend Kane Engelbert, where we photographed 7 waterfalls in south and central Oregon. This was probably one of my best shots from the trip, taken yesterday at Proxy Falls. The light showed up and gave me a nice show, no doubt. I sure do love living in Oregon, what a magical place! This is seriously almost SOOC, I did very little to this image, it was just that special. I shot it with the Sony A7R and the Sony 16-35 f-4, a nice combo for sure!
