Picture of the Day - Base of Narada Falls


I took this digital photo about three years ago in Mt. Ranier National Park. And before you ask, the rocks really are gold in appearance, enhanced by the fact that they are wet.

This picture illustrates the fact that you don't have to photograph a waterfall in its entirety to have an effective image. In fact, the base of the falls is the backdrop for the incredibly colored rocks and together they make a good picture. Throw in some greenery behind the falls, and you have a very fine color image.

Remember to always start with an overall image, like the entire waterfall, then drill down to find beauty in a very small portion of the overall picture. Think about this the next time you have a camera in your hands.
