The all-day trip to Silver Falls State Park went well, with great weather, and opportunities to capture some excellent images as well. The eight-mile hike provides access to ten waterfalls, as well as many other scenic opportunities. We started early, leaving Portland at 6:00 AM, and didn’t return until 6:00 PM. Tripods were a necessity for creating a smooth water effect from the falls, but also are helpful to maintain low ISO levels with deep depth of field under the fairly dark forest canopy.
