Wahclella Falls (Columbia River Gorge, Oregon USA) looks very different during autumn:



Just after I took this conventional photograph (1/3 second exposure)...



... I decided to try my neutral density filter for a much longer exposure (3 minutes), as I stood shivering nearby. As you can see, this created a completely different atmosphere.

NOTE: When displayed at its default size, the photo may appear a bit "soft". FULL VIEW is highly recommended for better appreciation of detail.

(Nikon D70, Nikon 12-24 lens, B+W Neutral Density filter, f/4, 180 seconds, Bogen/Manfrotto tripod)

Looks amazing. I like how the valley draws the eye in towards the falls.

Both short and long exposures have their merits, but I think the softness of the fog makes the scene more inviting. What a huge contrast to the picture you took in October!
