**🌊 40+ YEARS OF PHOTOGRAPHY… AND THIS ONE IS SOMETHING SPECIAL! 🍂📸**
In more than 40 years of photographing waterfalls, I’ve captured countless scenes of moving water, but this image from **Yoho National Park in British Columbia** has quickly become one of my all-time favourites!
Photographed on October 3, 2026, during a cold, wet day of rain and snow, this scene has everything I love about waterfall photography. A spruce tree frames the left side of the image, while the river flows over and around rain-soaked rocks, splitting around a massive rock in the middle before seemingly disappearing behind the rocks in the foreground.
But there’s a little secret to this scene! 😉
The photograph was taken just above **Natural Bridge Falls**, where the powerful waters of the Kicking Horse River disappear beneath the natural rock formation. What looks like a river vanishing behind the foreground rocks is actually the water flowing underneath the rock itself!
The overcast skies and soaking-wet rocks brought out incredibly rich, vivid colours and textures. Sometimes, the best photography days aren't the sunny ones!
📸 **The camera details:**
• Camera: Fujifilm X-T50
• Lens: Fujifilm 15–45mm at 15mm
• Shutter speed: 1/4 second, handheld
• Aperture: f/22
• ISO: 125
Everything just came together perfectly in this image. The composition, the flowing water, the rich colours and the atmosphere of that cold autumn day all worked together exactly as I had hoped.
In fact, I loved this photograph so much that I’ve already printed a copy and have it on display in my office. It’s a wonderful reminder of just how special that day in the mountains was.
**Sometimes, you don't just take a photograph… you capture a feeling you want to experience all over again. ❤️**
What do you think? Would you hang a photograph like this in your home?
