Eureka Falls is located a few minutes up the road from Silver Lake, which I mentioned a few times last week. I love the way this little waterfall cuts through the hillside down into Silver Creek, but I did find framing this image to be a little tough. There are a lot of tree branches sticking out over the river from the bank I was shooting from, which was the primary source of trouble. If the current of Silver Creek wasn't so strong, I would have liked to shoot from in the creek itself to try and overcome this problem. Another solution would have been tighter shots of different parts of the falls, which I might try if I shoot this location again. The only reason I didn't try that was due to the failing light, and I wanted to get some shots at Silver Lake itself before dusk.
This is exactly the problem I've had when there previously. The first time the branches were in my way and being spring, the river was roaring and I wasn't going near it. I bet the river levels are higher this fall than they usually are, due to late snow runoff. Last time I was there I took no wide shots of the falls but used my 70-200 to get some of the details. I like this composition a lot. Glad to see the dead tree is no longer at the base of the falls.
