I was planning on doing one post a day and since the blog has just started I also wanted to catch up with old posts from flickr. Well since I am no expert at the internet and blogging, this has been an all day project and I decided I mine as well upload one more to see how this all works and how it is going to look.
The Shot:
This photo was also taken April 2010 in the Columbia River Gorge. You really don't realize how fat and out of shape you are until you try some hiking with 20-30lbs of camera gear up hill. Trying to make my way up to Fairy Falls and stopping what seemed like a hundred times I came across this wonderful scene.
This image is a panorama format it is a combination of 3-4 photo's taken vertically. I probably could have picked out just one part of this scene but the fallen tree going across the top really intrigued me along with the tree to the left with all the roots out of the ground. So I decided to take in the entire scene and use that as my comp.
This would be one of my first photo's taken of running water and also one of my first hikes.
Lessons Learned:
I need to get in shape before my next hike anywhere.
I learned that you can over expose the flowing water which will make your water not look so great.
When hiking take plenty of water and snack food for energy no matter how far you are going.
In the Columbia River Gorge...the juice is worth the squeeze
Just another case of learning as you go. But it would have been nicer not to climb and sweat so much to learn these lessons.
