When you are standing at the bottom of a small stream there is very little indication what lies further up ahead. Much like life, it could be nothing for miles, or right around the next corner could be a rushing waterfall. The only way to find out is to press forward and see it for yourself.
On this day, the BC coast was socked in with rain and grey skies, which made it perfect to shoot waterfalls. I knew of an amazing waterfall in this area, and had an idea for a shot. So, I headed out the day before and scoped out the shot. I was looking for the perfect lighting inside this cave so that waterfall wouldn’t be too bright and the rock formations in the foreground would still be visible.
I got up in the morning, and hiked down to the entrance of the waterfall. The weather and lighting were perfect. There was just enough rain that it was making a second small stream from the top of the cave down. I love finding little surprises like that when I get home and see the full-size image.
