Description Probably one of the most majestic waterfalls in the Pacific Northwest - Fairy Falls sits high in the Columbia River Gorge in Oregon where it drops over large terraces, embracing the rocks like a moist coat.

Yes and no. I used a variation of the Orton effect slightly on some of the leaves to break the sharp contrasts a little and to add to the atmosphere of this place. The water is rushing down those steps and creates mist that constantly lands on your lens and lingers around, so there was already a lot of diffused light "to work with" in the first place.

Very cool, you did a great job with the post and the mist helped beautifully.

That's kind of otherworldly, the water seems to be glowing... I can just picture Tinkerbell-kind-of-fairies showering there...

I see what you're saying but I don't listen. Nah, man, there is just nothing to work with... There was no moss that could really brighten the corner and nothing interesting down there that would be worth using fill light on. Overall, it was a super tough shoot due to the conditions but what you gonna do when you only have day for waterfalls...
