Amazing!! I took some waterfall shots yesterday. Not as grand as yours though

DOF is good on the 2nd

The falls photos are nicely done--very pristine.

Nice shots - crisp and sharp and the colours look very good. Would you care to share their more exact locations with us? Thanks.

Very nice! I really like the way you framed #2.

Thanks! Didn't get out as much as I would have liked. Stupid work kept getting in the way... At least it won't feel like I'm going home empty handed.

#1 is Mt. Baker and #2 & 3 are in the Boulder River Wilderness just east of Arlington, past Jim Creek. Just find the Boulder River Trailhead, start hiking and you can't miss it. It's a moderately steep and rocky climb off the trail, down to the creek and it gets really wet down in the creek bottom. Not so much from the waterfall, that particular spot just gets dumped on when it rains.

Here's an iPhone shot I took to geotag the location. You can get a good idea of the relief down to the creek.

TTL, thanks for the information. Always nice to know where such good images have been taken.

The northwest is awesome! Great pics but they still cant capture the grandness of those mountains.

#1 Looks to be Mt. Shuksan taken from the Mt. Baker ski area. Awesome snowboarding there by the way, we hiked that whole ridge (The Shuksan Arm) on the right and snowboarded the line just to the right of the heavy rock outcropings below the peak. Wish I had my DSLR then but I still got some great pics with the point and shoot from up top.

Another great hike with lots of great views is the Heliotrope Ridge. It is on the NW side of Mt. Baker and goes up to some great views of the glaciers. Well worth the hike! Ahhhh, cant wait to make it back out there. Thanks for sharing the pics!
