Here's the last of three "keeper" images from Saturday evening's photo adventure. I was on my way back to my car thinking I was all done and happy with what I got. Then... I realized the moonlight was really looking nice and I wondered what Eagle Falls was looking like. Even though I was wet and cold at this point, I turned around and walked down to the falls to see what I could see. I'm glad I did! The moonlight at the top of the falls looked great so I set my gear back up and spent a little more time getting one last shot.

This Eagle Falls photo was shot on a Canon 5Dsr with a 16-35mm lens set at 16mm. A tripod and shutter release cable were used but no lens filters this time. The ISO was 200, I usually prefer ISO 50 but I didn't want to have too long of a shot. Even at a more light sensitive ISO 200, the exposure time was still 314 seconds long. The aperture was f8, I didn't want a wider aperture than that because I wanted my foreground and background to both be as sharp as possible. On a wide angle lens like a 16mm, f8 usually does a pretty good job at maintaining a good depth of field and keeping everything nice and sharp.

Here are the two other "keeper" shots from that evening (previously posted). I'm curious...

Which of the three shots is your favorite of the night? The long exposure with streaking car lights, the sunset, or the falls?

Thank you for looking and reading!
