Mossbrae Falls Scene

Hi Photo.netters! I fairly recently took a hike into Mossbrae Falls,

not knowing what to expect during the winter month. This was in

January. There was snow on the hills as I walked in, and snow

patches on the way, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I was

pleasantly surprised to see it still lush and green. I didn't take

many of the traditional views of the falls on this trip, so I stepped

back a ways with my wide-angle at 17mm to get a better perspective of

the surrounding environment. Comments and suggestions and leftover

pizza are welcomed. Thank you.

maybe a flash could fill in some texture on the tree trunk on the right hand side. otherwise great location!

Thanks for the comments, Nicky! Trouble with using a flash is that I try and stick with using natural light. But otherwise a great suggestion because that tree trunk is pretty darn dark.

Looks very lush. I like that the water looks like "water" and not mist from slow shutter speed.

This scene is gorgeous. Where is this Mosbrae Falls? Wow! Great composition... although the leaves in the front being blurry is a tad distracting, outside of that, nicely done.

this really draws me into the scene, looks like paradise, but a little dark and spooky too.

Thanks for the comments, I appreciate the feedback!

 

David, Mossbrae Falls is a spring-fed seeping waterfall that flows into the upper Sacramento River near Dunsmuir, CA. What you see here is not a good representation of the falls, as the falls are very wide and continue further up and down the river from what shows in this photograph. It bends around with the river. It's really quite a sight in person.
