About the Image(s)
This image was captured during this year's PSA Photo Festival in Portland, Oregon. This waterfall had been on my bucket list for years, and I finally had the opportunity to visit it in September and check it off. It was taken with a Lumix G9ii and a Leica 12??“60 mm lens, then processed in Lightroom and Photo AI.
Thank you very much!

Curious what your setting were for this one? Specifically, your shutter speed? When I'm doing a long exposure, I always think about what is the correct speed, is it too fast or slow?
I like your composition and think you were successful getting it off your bucket list!
It might be my screen, but it feels a bit dark and the WB looks off a tiny bit and think it might benefit opening up the shadows a bit, I think it would help with the different shades green and the water is pretty close to black. Hope you don't mind, but here's my interpretation of your image. I warmed it up a bit, opened up the shadow and added a few radial filters to the water, bridge and small reflection of the waterfall at the bottom. Interested to hear your thoughts!

Probably the most photographed waterfall in Oregon, but it always looks spectacular! Great job, since you had to do a long exposure to get the waterfall motion, did you use an ND filter? If so, which one? Posted: 10/11/2025 02:38:48

I too was at the PSA Festival. What day did you go to the Falls. I was there with the Festival on Monday.
I agree with Dawn it does look a little dark. I would try and bring up the shadows. Bob asked if you used an ND filter? I did it was a CPL ND2 because the sky when we were there was gray.

I think you've done a good job on capturing the falls. I go by there a couple times a year on my way to visit my daughter in Boise but I've never been there when I could find an open space to park any where near the falls so I could get out and take a photo.
Because of the height of the falls it is difficult to compose a good shot so I like that you concentrated on the lower portion of the falls. I think you did a good job of positioning the bridge which, for me, helps to create an interest point.
I agree with the others in that I think your exposure is a bit too dark. Posted: 10/24/2025 17:47:34
