On the second night of a three-day backpacking loop trip in the backcountry of southern Yosemite National Park, we camped near this cascade along a tributary of Chilnualna Creek. This tributary flows out of Grouse Lake. This was just a hint of what was ahead of us as we looped back to Wawona and followed Chilnualna Creek back down the slope. Chilnualna Creek forms a number of cascades and waterfalls before forming the biggest drop Chilnualna Falls, a 240 foot drop into a cataract.
We enjoyed this little cascade as our dining spot not far from where we camped in our hammocks. Getting an image with the feathery effect is accomplished by using a slow shutter speed. The shutter speed for this image was 2 seconds with an ISO of 50 and f/stop of 22.
Remember, it's not just a picture, it's a story.
