Rainbow Fall, Devil’s Postpile

by Buck Forester

This is an early morning shot of Rainbow Fall in Devil’s Postpile National Monument as the first rays of light shoot over the waterfall. I backpacked in and spent the night near the waterfall so I could be there first thing in the morning. It was about a 4 second exposure.

Equipment: Canon Elan 7; Canon 17-40mm lens; Fuji Velvia 50 film; 81B warming filter.

I love the rays of light in this photo. And I like the fact that I am not the ONLY person still using film. Is anyone else out there still taking serious photos with film? I’d love to hear from you.
