Spent over an hour standing in the cold river waiting for the light I liked. I'm not sure this will be my final image from the short trip, but it is the first I PP from this location.
Landscape photography requires lots of patience and perseverance. And warm boots to put on afterwards
Landscape shooters rarely fill a memory card. You really only get two times a day and have to spend a long time working on getting 1 or 2 shots. It really helps if you like just looking at beautiful scenery, that helps pass the time for me.
Great shot, your early rising and perseverance has paid off.
Curious what time you shot this. If I estimate a bit...on the trail at 5 am, the hike in about 2.5 miles, half mile side trip down the canyon to the creek bed, stand in the creek for an hour... I'm guessing about 7 am. Of course this is assuming you camped near the highway trailhead.
Hip waders do sound like a good idea, but adds seven or eight pounds to the pack.

It was right around 8 AM. I think I actually spent well over an hour in water over the time I was there. When I first got there the light was really flat, so as it turns out, I could have slept an additional hour
I haven't been there in many, many years; and will no more due to physical handicap. Thank you for the trip down memory lane. I had forgotten how beautiful it is.
Stocking foot waders don't weight nearly so much and work quite well with a pair of light hikers to cover the soles.
The beauty of this activity is that you can get away with the really cheap ones, as you aren't using them all day for many days, as you would if seriously fishing in them.
Brrr. Almost all of the best Gorge waterfalls are shot by those who suffer the cold of the water. Thanks for enduring and sharing for those of us who don't get up that early or go wading.
