Waterfall Photography: Adding The Human Element 2024-10-18 - Oregon - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com. Robert writes, "This image was taken at one of the waterfalls in the Columbia River Gorge. I came upon this group of tourists earlier on the trail as I was crossing a bridge over this stream.

Minutes later and by my wandering around and taking images, they managed to sneak past me and made it uphill to the waterfall before me. While the falls were beautiful (and have been photographed millions of times...no doubt) I decided to focus my attention to looking for a possible 'street photography'-styled image that this group might provide. They didn't dissapoint, I'm very pleased with the results!" Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
