Shoshone Falls in Twin Falls Idaho is often referred to as the “Niagara of the West.” The Falls drop 212 feet, a little further than Niagara Falls, and when the water flows at full capacity it is a stunning sight. The snowpack was light the winter before this image was taken, and even in mid-June the water volume over the falls was rather low. However, this photo excursion was one of my first to the falls after moving to the area the previous fall. There are a few different lookout points to view the falls from, and the most popular is down a little lower than this. I wanted something of interest in the image foreground and wasn’t interested in using the guardrails of the viewing platform. These summer wildflowers were in full bloom and contrasted nicely with the green foliage. I used a very small aperture to try to keep the flowers in focus as well as the rest of the scene and was able to get a wide angle. I typically try to capture scenes early in the morning or later evening for better lighting, but I spent the morning at nearby Dierkes Lake and had just stopped by to see the falls later that morning. There was some cloud cover, so the colors were still quite vibrant and the scene still rather magnificent.
