This set of beautiful images are from Pine Creek in Zion National Park.

There are numerous waterfalls and cascades along Pine Creek. Some spots require rappelling or scrambling. The above image is close to the junction of Pine Creek and the Virgin River.

I used a 30-second shutter speed with a neutral density filter to get that swirl. The image is either unpolarized or partially polarized (I don’t recall) to not kill the reflected glow on the water.

The great light lasted no more than a few minutes, if that. I only got two images with that reflected glow. Here is the second.

Pine Creek Waterfall and Swirl

The first two images are from November 21. The next pair is from November 19.

Pine Creek Waterfall

I definitely used a polarizer on the above image to remove the glare. The polarizer enhanced the green moss on the rocks.

Here is an image from the top of the waterfall, looking down.
