Title: A Unique Perspective on Calf Creek Falls
Post by: bretedge on November 16, 2013, 04:09:32 pm

A couple years ago I visited a unique vantage point of the oft photographed Calf Creek Falls with a good friend who lives in Torrey.  After a semi-dicey descent on steep slickrock this view of the falls from above took my breath away.  It's not a location for those with a fear of heights as you've got to get pretty close the cliff to compose an image.

Thanks for having a look!

LOL, i was getting dizzy just from looking. Great feeling of depth. I would love the see the full size on the wall, but from a securely anchored couch  ;D

I have done upper Calf creek falls and that too is a unique perspective.

Fine composition and a nice palate.

One of my favorites from Utah is Lower Calf Creek Falls, but from the easy, ground-level view. This one is just spectacular. And, from having walked up to the Upper Falls I know for a fact that I could never get a shot like this one, unless I had a good, low-altitude parachute.

Thanks for sharing it.

Great location, very interesting shot. When walking to the bottom it's worth timing it for the sun.
