Took a hike to Hubbard Falls yesterday....was so worth the steep hike to the bottom of the falls...it's one of those hikes where you make sure you have two hands available to be able to grab anything that will help you to NOT slide down the hill!

Hubbard Reservoir is about a 475 acre lake and the Little Bitterroot river runs to make the reservoir. The falls are at the very northern end of the reservoir, to get to the top of the falls it's an easy and short hike from the Hubbard Damn road but to get to the bottom...it's not for the faint of heart and you need to be in shape to be able to climb back up.

I took a few with faster shutter speed and some with slower shutter speeds with a ND64 filter....I like the silky water look but I know some people don't...so I did both.

If you have any critique's to help with post processing, please feel free to let me know. I plan on picking 1 of the silky water look to enlarge and hang on my wall, so let me know which one you feel is worthy!

stitched 3 shots to get the entire waterfall in the shot

Awesome, Cindy. I like the filtered images better. Some folks like the natural images better. I get it.

A gorgeous job of stitching work to get the whole falls. And it always captures more details than a far away wide angle shot. Good on ya Cindy!

Thanks Ken....that's why I included both...some like the natural look....I do to sometimes.

Thanks Mike...I know you like the natural look.

Thanks...your right...the further away you get the less detail and there was a spot on the steep hillside that I was able to get the 3 shots without to much difficulty.
