The most awesome thing about visiting Washington in spring is the abundance of waterfalls everywhere. We had earmarked tons of waterfalls to visit like the Snoqualmie, Narada, and Franklin falls but we also saw lots of other amazing falls along the way. This waterfalls and cascades were located a few feet away from the Franklin fall trail. There were no names or directions just a small spur leading away from the main trail to an overlook point.

This image is an example of focusing at the hyperfocal distance, to get most of the frame in sharp focus. Now my camera has a setting that will take multiple images that will slowly shift from the closest point the farthest point which I can later combine to create a very sharp image. The problem to that approach is the moving water in the frame, in my experience when moving elements are present the results of the approach is a hit or miss. Another factor is that I was taking a long exposure shot and it would simply take too much time to takes multiple exposures. So I preferred the hyperfocal method, which allowed me to get the whole scene in acceptable focus by approximately focusing a third into the scene.
