Totekee Falls - Fall 2021

            This one took a lot of work, but it was worth it. Firstly, the climb down to the ravine involved some rock climbing, which I have zero experience in. It was wet, and muddy on a slightly rainy day, and I took it very slowly to ensure I didn't fall as I was the last person there at sunset. It went very well considering I was wearing a 15lb pack. It's good I'm always prepared with trail spikes I can put on my shoes when needed. They came in useful at the bottom too, as this shot was setup on a slippery log and my footing would have been perilous otherwise. The log made setting up my tripod leveled for this 3-shot pano a bit of a job too. I came at this time of year to get a little bit of the fall foliage in the foreground like I'd seen in other photos of the place. There was just enough in this perch to get what I came for, but it was breezy, so I had to do a time stack to freeze the leaves and still get the motion blur in the water. I think when a shot like this is do difficult it really puts me in the zone and makes the experience and resulting image so much more satisfying. The climb back up was terrifying, but taking it slowly revealed that it was probably safer than the way down. I got another shot from a different vantage point, but I like this one a little more because the yellow leaves in the foreground added a lot to the composition.
