Photography/Waterfalls/Pat Schilling Photography

Waterfalls are found in many places, and are of many types, sizes and shapes. Even the same ones change from month to month, year to year. I don't normally travel to an area to specifically see a certain waterfall, but I make an effort to shoot them on my travels.
Below are a few from around the Pacific Northwest...some well known...some, not so much.
More images of Spokane Falls are HERE.
For a look at a couple small, unique waterfalls, see Shadow/Fern Falls.

In extreme northern Idaho, about 3 miles south of the Canadian border, off of Hwy 95.

Palouse Falls Aurora

Artistic license was taken with the image. My intent was to take a shot of the Falls, with the Milky Way in the background sky. However, this would require 2 separate exposures, a fairly long exposure on the Falls (with the addition of several flashes from a strobe), plus a somewhat shorter exposure for the Milky Way. Later, I would combine the two separate image into one. With the surprise appearance of the Aurora Borealis, slightly left of the framing here, I chose to use the Aurora as the background, since I was going to have to add a sky anyway.

near Twins Falls, Idaho
Shoshone Falls is on of those where, when the flow is heavy in Spring, the massive spray presents challenges for photographers. For one, the spray will obscure the falls at times. AND, you can get very wet!

Multnomah by Night

A midnight view of Multnomah Falls. The colors in this image cannot be seen with the naked eye. Because of the ambient lighting, probably sodium vapor, one would view the scene as somewhat monochromatic, with a yellow/orange cast. Proper exposure and white balance correction is needed to bring out the colors.
