Crystal Creek Falls is my favorite Waterfall to photograph out at Whiskeytown Recreation Area. It not much of a hike, being only a half mile round trip. I usually stop by this waterfall anytime I am in the area. The photographs below are from three different visits to Crystal Creek Falls, two in February, and one just last week when I was at Crystal Creek Water Ditch Trail. I also have two Photo-Spheres from the falls, one was taken with my Nexus 6P last week, the other with my old Galaxy phone in February, when I took the photo it was a light drizzle that day and makes the photo look almost foggy.

I find it interesting that in just four months my Processing style has changed. One photograph looks like it has neon green in it, with the most recent ones be a much more subtle green tone with a blue accent. I had never really noticed that change until this set where they are mixed together. I have two current favorite from this set right now, both from different visits. I really like the waterfall with a foreground being the pool, for that shot I got low and shifted the perspective. My other favorite is the shot with the rocks and grass growing on top of it. That was the first time I had been out there are even noticed these rocks on the side of the access road (across from the waterfall). For some reason with the grass, and the mist it made these rocks just glow. I also like the combination of natural and man-made in that one photograph, with the drill marks in the rocks.
Next week will be Brandy Creek Falls, now that the road is open you can access the waterfall via a short 1.5 mile hike.
