Located in Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Panther Creek Falls is one of my favorite waterfalls in the Pacific Northwest. This is the view from the base, which requires a bit of effort to reach. You either have to scramble down a rock face or slide down a very steep boot path. Then you have to deal with an enormous amount of spray from the waterfall. But the results are worth the effort.

(Gear: Nikon D90, Tokina 11-16 lens, circular polarizer, f/22, 1/2.5seconds, Bogen/Manfrotto tripod, and lots of lens paper!)
