Description

Waliby Creek Falls, Washington state.

When I reached this falls it was earlier in the day and although still a beautiful scene, I knew I wanted to capture it latter in the day with different light. After exploring the area, I went back to this spot in the late afternoon. I stood on the bank below the falls and took a few shots but I felt like I needed to be closer. There was only one way and that was to get into the water. I took off my shoes and rolled up my jeans above my knees and waded through the very cool water. After I reached this spot, that is when I noticed the golden light reflecting in the water as that was not visible further back. The gold color in the water is the reflection of the golden hour light. I extended the legs on my tripod and submerged the legs into the water, positioning them such that they were in a solid spot. Standing in the water you can feel the cool breeze blow past you due to the narrow canyon. After taking a few shots, I had my finger on the shutter button to take a few more photos at different camera settings when all of a sudden I stopped and let my finger slip off the shutter button. At that point, I took in all of the external senses. The sound of the water, the light reflecting off the water and moss, the cool breeze across my face, and the gentle flowing of water on my legs. I took a couple more photos but by this time the cool breeze and cold water would have me to start thinking about heading back to dry land. I reviewed the images on the back of the camera then lifted my tripod out of the water and headed back. I am calling it Majestic.
