This must be a photogenic hike, because I pressed the shutter 361 times in a little over 8 hours and a round trip distance of 8.5 miles, and I estimate 1,500 feet of climbing. The trail was uneventful (except crossing Little Herman Creek, which was presented simple puzzle) and not strenuous. Hiking time: 8 hours, 5 minutes, and 19 seconds. From trailhead to Dry Creek Falls: 4 hours, 32 minutes, and 25 seconds. Taking in the view at Dry Creek Falls and eating lunch: 34 minutes, 20.08 seconds. Dry Creek Falls to trailhead: 3 hours, 58 minutes and 5 seconds. Most of the hike was along the Pacific Crest Trail.

Route: Herman Creek Trailhead 406 0.6 miles to right on Herman Creek Bridge Trail 405E down to roaring Herman Creek and the Bridge (the only crossing of Herman Creek), climbed 1.2 miles to left on Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) 2000, up and down 2.2 miles to a bridge crossing Dry Creek (which is anything but dry), left 0.25 miles on Dry Creek Trail to Dry Creek Falls, one of the most astounding views of towering, moss-covered cliffs in the Columbia Gorge. Retrace steps back to car. High point on PCT at about 1,000 feet. Route often climbs 300 or more feet only to lose it. Total climbing maybe 1,500 feet.

Took an obscene number of photos: 361, of which 115 made the cut. It was sunny, so I took trekking poles and no tripod: all photos were hand-held. Most photos were in shade on a sunny day, so required color correction in Adobe Lightroom to remove the awful blue cast. Took way more photos with my Rokinon full frame fisheye than I normally do. I've read that the Rokinon f/2.8 fully manual full frame fisheye is one of the sharpest fisheyes ever made, and dirt cheap as such optics go. But the my right thumb frequently obscured the lower right hand corner of the image and I had to crop it out. That's an unforgivable hazard one risks with hand-holding a camera with fisheye attached. Since in the rush of taking pictures I often forget to have the patience to hold the camera correctly for the fisheye, I shouldn't even take the fisheye with me when I'm hand-holding.
