This photo was taken in Panther Creek Falls in Carson, Washington. I generally wait for a cloudy morning to photograph waterfalls in order to get even light. That was the case the morning I took this picture. However, for a brief few seconds the the clouds receded and the sun shone through. I focussed on a small distant detail of the falls that had wonderful light and got my shot. I used a Nikon D 7100 and Nikkor Zoom Lens (18-200 mm), with a Hoya Circular Polarizer mounted to a Gitzo Tripod and Arca-Swiss Head. The ISPO was 200, F/16, at a 1/2 second exposure.
