One more time
by Lon Overacker
Ok, so here's one more from the bottom of Stair Falls. We're milking this one!
This one is pretty much a combo of my previous versions. This one here combines the upper section as well as the extension of the rocks at the bottom. Although this is a single and different image than the previous two.
I must say, and admit, I am quite happy that I was able to come away with some likeable images from this location. As Preston can attest, I because quite moody during this shoot. Something really odd was happening with my camera. After capturing an image, the preview on the screen was way, way underexposed. How could this be? It's on Aperture priority. This was randomly happening during the day but got worse at this location. I kept firing away, and was able to get some frames that were close to being properly exposed. Long story short, it turns out my cheap off-brand cable release was causing the problem. The one thing I do not care for with the Nikon is the 10-pin socket and the location where you screen in the cable release. A pain. Anyway, it took me the rest of the night to correct my mood. Sorry PB!
Here's a case where the image makes up for the experience, I think.
thanks for any comments, suggestions or critiques.

9 commentsI think this is the best of your Stair Falls images, Lon. The light and color are excellent, especially on the rocks at the bottom. Since I was there, I can say that the light was very difficult to work with. This has a nice mood and flow, not only of the water, but also the stone.
Yes, your consternation was pretty evident, but I am glad you persevered, rather than giving up. The results here speak to that.
Well, there was nothing like a good dinner, a beer or three around the campfire under a gorgeous sky among the granite walls, with a hint of a breeze sighing through the firs to improve the mood! No need to apologize, sir.
