Photography is all about timing. It sounds like a cliché, but being in the right place at the right time will always result in a beautiful image. With conditions like these, all a photographer has to do is show up and take the shot. This morning was one of those moments. I was a little concerned about the pure, bright sunlight that morning at Punch Bowl Falls in the Columbia River Gorge area of Oregon.

Waterfalls are usually easier to photograph on wet or overcast days but as I rounded the corner to the waterfall, the mid morning sun blasted into the canyon at just the right angle to create these spectacular rays of light and vibrant reflections in the water. I knew right then and there that I had a keeper shot. I tried various different angles and compositions but this one was my favourite. I had a big ‘Cheshire Cat’ grin for the rest of the day.

Order Yours Today

This print is now available in two options. You can order the ‘Print Under Acrylic’ which I highly recommend. I have several of these in my gallery at home and they look truly spectacular. When you add a spotlight to these prints they almost jump off the walls and actually look as if they are back lit. The second option is for the ‘Print Only’ version.

Please note that this is a custom sized image so you if you did decide to mount and frame a print you’d need a custom made frame. With the ‘Print Under Acrylic’ option your artwork comes ready to hang with no requirement for mounting or framing.
