Multnomah Falls

Uploaded: June 28, 2013

Description

One of the most photographed water falls in the United States. The sun had just crested the ridge line (out of sight on the left hand side of the comp). You can see several sun beams visible thru the misty water spray, especially on the top RHS of the photo. And the sun's rays are illuminating the trees on the foreground hillside.

Along the Columbia River Gorge, just east of Portland Oregon.

Exif: F Number: 20, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 3/10 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 125, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 26.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark III
