Black Hole of Calcutta Falls #2

Strangely I dont know what these falls have to do with Calcutta. They are not in Calcutta. They are in California, near Auburn.

I had been wanting to take this hike for a while but finally made it out last weekend. It was bitter cold and very windy for the first hour or so.
I had to turn around partway into the hike because I remembered I left the parking permit sitting on the car seat instead of in the window.
This was very disheartening because I parked up a steep hill. I almost did not go back to the trail.
But once the wind calmed down, I did not feel as cold and and my legs loosened up.

It ended up being a very nice hike along the river. Though I wish the trail was lower and closer to the river. It was only about 2 miles but the slight incline made it feel more like 4.

I used a 3-stop ND filter, though at f16 the exposure was 1 second already. I probably did not need the ND filter.
An extra stop was for reciprocity.

The composition appeals to me and the tonality leaves nothing to wish for. I vote this 'successful'. - David Lyga

I much prefer this one to version #1, probably as the flow of water sits on 3 planes. Top to bottom, right to left, and rear to front. Really like it.

very nice I have some great waterfalls here in Central NY that I hope to photograph this year, this inspires me.
