Sempervirens Falls

California has seen a lot of rain this year, so much that we are out of a drought! I celebrated by checking out Sempervirens Falls for the first time. Big Basin Redwoods State Park never disappoints, and this waterfall is easy to get to and great to photograph.

The Falls Below the Bridge

This angle of Christine Falls is not the one you normally see. I took this from the bridge very close to the falls, where the water drops straight down below you only a few feet away. There is a viewpoint down the road, but I decided to get up to the edge of the bridge, and shoot it top to bottom in a vertical panorama. This distorts the height of the falls and makes it feel like it is snaking through the rocks in front of you.

Zion Isn’t Just for Rocks

It’s also for waterfalls! A short hike and a steady tripod was all that it took to get a shot of this little waterfall.

Peak in the Clouds

It is hard to find a bad angle when you have both a waterfall and a unique mountain to work with! I didn’t waste any time and setup for this long exposure to get both the flowing water and the peak of Kirkjufell hiding in the clouds.

The Falls With No Name

Iceland has many beautiful waterfalls, so many they apparently don’t bother to name them all! Not everything is in a name as this waterfall had some absolutely freezing but photo worthy water swirling all around it.

Foss Foss Everywhere a Foss Foss

Iceland might be named for its icy glaciers, but I found it to be the land of waterfalls, or foss in Icelandic. We could barely drive a few miles without seeing a beautiful waterfall. While at Goðafoss I took the chance to get a close up to the moving water on the side of this massive waterfall and take this shot.

Out of the Rain but Covered in Mist

Standing behind this waterfall under the rock shelf meant being out of the rain, but the powerful Seljalandsfoss is 200 feet tall and produces a lot of mist. My camera and I got pretty wet, but it was worth it to be able to experience this close up.

Winter Eagle Falls

Normally this spot is accessible by car, but with 15 feet of snow falling in the last two weeks, Hwy 89 is closed. The good news is you can still get to the spot if you are willing to snowshoe. It doesn’t even seem like there is a highway there with all the snow, but after snowshoeing a couple miles you are at the top of Eagle Falls looking out over Emerald Bay.

Into the Sea

I love waterfalls. I love the ocean. The incredible McWay Waterfall in Big Sur gave me the best of both with a waterfall that drops right onto the beach.

Rushing Water

This may look like a relaxing place to hang out by a waterfall, but it was not. Standing here meant I was exposed to the full spray of the waterfall. I had to clean my lens and immediately take the shot before it had water drops all over it again. I could have taken this from the side, as other photographers did after walking by me and looking at me like I was crazy, but I had to have that big fallen tree sticking right out at me.
