Excellent capture of the South Falls, Ken!! Did you see any of the other falls in the Silver Falls series? There are 10 of them and most are very beautiful. I am lucky and live just over the mountain from them, about 3 miles from the south falls. If I have time I`ll try to do series on all 10 this summer. Both images are beautiful and very well done!!!....Denny #5989312

Denny, you are so fortunate to live where you do. Within a day's drive, you have the majority of the best scenics in the nation.
Ken, these are terrific. I was going to post to ask you if you had any with a shutter speed faster than the first one, then was surprised to see the second one which is faster.
Did you take any with an even faster shutter speed? If so, I would love to see those. #5991006
