Branching OutAfter a lazy morning of sitting around the house reading I joined up with +Nicole S. Young and +Brian Matiash to shoot some waterfalls. We ventured to the Washington side of the Gorge to see Steep Creek Falls for the first time. We were not disappointed. This was a fantastic location with plenty of shooting ops. The three of us spent a little time shooting the actual falls before venturing out to the surrounding area to find other things to shoot.I found this tree at the bank of the creek and must have shot it from four other angles before settling on this as the one I wanted. I was drawn the moss that covered the base, it contrasted against the white bark so nicely. With the creek rushing behind it I thought a long exposure with a short depth of field would work just fine. Here’s what I came back with.Happy Monday everyone, I hope the St. Paddy’s day celebrations were fun and safe and that those of you Portlanders that ran the Shamrock are resting up well.#blog
