You can barely see it but I’m holding my fly rod in this pic. One of my photography goals this year is to take some fly fishing pictures this year. I went out and was casting in this river while my camera was taking photos every second. I’m trying to figure out which type of cast looks the best. Also I’m trying to find out which situations make the fishing line stand out while it’s in the air. Is it a darker background with a light colored line or the opposite? I guess I’ll find out this year. I didn’t care for those photographs so I’ll keep practicing.
Anyways, here’s shot from Abiqua Falls near Silverton, Oregon. Abiqua Falls has one of the best approaches I’ve experienced. (I mean assuming you don’t fall down the mountain like I did… I took the wrong trail.) It isn’t until you come around the big cliff walls that you can see the falls. It’s pretty incredible. You can hear it from so far away too, which just adds to the anticipation. It’s not like Silver Falls (another waterfall in the area) which basically has a parking lot attached to it. This waterfall has a much more remote feeling to it.

This photograph is comprised of two horizontal photos vertically stacked for a really wide angle. I also used a 5 stop ND filter for the waterfalls and the little stream.
