Palouse Falls Sunrise - 15.78 Gigapixels

Sept. 7, 2025 – Palouse Falls is the official state waterfall of Washington. Dropping roughly 180 feet, Palouse Falls is a must see attraction. It is truly an impressive feature of the landscape. Also known as Aput Aput, meaning “Falling Water,” so named by the Palouse Indians, Palouse Falls is located within Palouse Falls State Park. Having seen numerous photos taken at this location it had long been on my list of locations I wanted to shoot one of my wall mural photos at. We booked a campsite at Lyons Ferry RV park for 2 nights during our fall 2025 photo tour of the Pacific Northwest.

This panorama is the largest I have ever shot and consists of 560 individual 45 mega-pixel focus stacked images derived from 5133 focus bracketed images. It was shot with Canon R5 at f/11, 1/60th second exposure time and ISO 400 using a 300mm focal length on Canon 100-400mm lens.
