We have done part of the hike last year before moving to Portland. I thought this could be a good opportunity for me to try out some camera tricks on shooting moving water. I always liked photos of water falls with long exposure that the water would look like white silk.
It's very sunny today, which isn't good for taking decent photos in my opinion. It's too much light and shadow contrast. A good day also means lots of people.
I took a few training shots at the beginning of the hike, and realized that I really needed a tripod for the flowy silk photos. But here are a couple that don't look too bad with just bare hands and breath-holding.
Then less than a quarter mile into the hike, I tripped on a pothole and twisted my left ankle, and subsequently on my way down I smashed my right knee on the pavement and dropped my camera. The camera is okay. I wish I could say the same about the left ankle and the right knee. With great effort and a bit more attention than I'd like from fellow hikers, we made it back to the parking lot and headed home...
