Photo Snoqualmie Falls by Jim Griffin

Without a doubt the most popular waterfall in the Pacific Northwest, Snoqualmie Falls receives over a million visitors each year. Tapped for power in the late 1800's, the volume of the Snoqualmie River remains relatively consistent through the dry periods of the year, but during the snow melt seasons the 268 foot falls become one of the most powerful waterfalls in the country.

Excellent view, this looks like it would be a fantastic place to shoot.

Thanks Markos. I wish I could have gotten a good straight on shot. But, after all the rain in Washington, the spray was too powerful.

Belated comment : I wasn't really feeling well and wanted to at least cast a vote on the day you posted but I wanted to say about this one it's a unique angle not many get of a waterfall and it hints at a slight fishe eye effect to me ! Anyway nice work Jim !!

I think you're right Billy as I notice it a little also. It's a super wide lens being the Nikon 12-24 probably at the 12 end. I still don't think this lens is as good as the Nikon 17-35, but that wouldn't been wide enough for this shot. That's the only thing I don't like about the 1.5 sensor is that the great Nikon 17-35 lens just isn't wide enough for some shots.
