Upper Latourell falls trail is a pretty easy 2 miles hike in the Columbia River Gorge which take you to two of the most stunning waterfalls I have ever seen. I spend a quite a bit of time to get a clear shot of the waterfall from this angle as there were many people enjoying this stunning waterfall. When I started out in landscape photography, I would grow completely impatient when people walked into the shot. But now I have learned to enjoy spending my time there witnessing the moment and do a bit of people watching.

Lighting for this was particularly challenging as sun was directly above use and there were super bright spots created by the sunlight filtering through tree foliage. I got away from it by shooting multiple images and creating a mini composite image as time was a bit limited.
