Behind The Lens

Location

Palouse Falls in Washington State, is among the last active waterfalls on the Ice Age floods path. This natural wonder was named Washington’s state waterfall in 2014.This photo was taken on Valentines Day.

Time

My boyfriend and I had decided to take our first road trip with our new puppy and get him into nature. I love to hike and knew that "Archer" would be my new hiking buddy and outdoor adventure partner. It was around noon that we arrived at the falls and the rain had just stopped.

Lighting

The sky was still gray from the morning rain so the walls were moody and dark. I'm glad we were there in February so the green on the rocks was still fresh.

Equipment

The photo was taken with a Sony cx100

Inspiration

The Palouse State Park is a favorite hiking spot. In the early spring, water run off seems to be the best. I enjoy taking photo's of the falls at all times of the year.

Editing

I usually do not post process my photos.

In my camera bag

I always carry four lenses with me and explore the variety each lens gives me. Minolta 75-300, Sony18-70, Sigma 10-20 and a Sony 55-200. Sometimes I toss in the Minolta 49mm lens.

Feedback

I explore the angels that the falls can be taken from. I enjoy shooting morning or evening light. The lenses I bring with me gives each shot a different perspective and I play with the camera settings.
