Multnomah Falls, Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, 2008

One of the most visited waterfalls in the US, Multnomah is very high (620 feet), relatively narrow, and its cliff face is heavily forested. This image takes advantage of all of these features. Using my telephoto zoom lens, I arrange the cascading flow of water from the top to the bottom of my vertical frame, and I suggest the presence of huge trees on the left side of the frame. The power of this image, however, comes through the play of light and shadow on the water itself. The falls are bathed in mist, creating patterns of falling water that suggest a cataclysmic or supernatural event.
