The crowds arrive

By the time we were ready to leave, Kipu Falls was getting quite crowded. This image was taken at 18mm focal length with an exposure of 1/200 seconds at f/8, ISO 800.

Kipu Falls

Here's a fisheye view of Kipu Falls and the pool below. The opening scene of Raiders of the Lost Arc was filmed off to the right in the trees below the pool. This image was taken at 10mm focal length with an exposure of 1/200 seconds at f/8, ISO 800.

Splashdown!

About an hour after jumping from the rocks atop Kipu Falls, Amanda finally splashes into the pool below..... ;-) This image was taken at 70mm focal length with an exposure of 1/1600 at f/5, ISO 800.

Aaaahhhhh!

Gotta love burst mode on a d-SLR. Amanda continues her flight through the air on her way to the pool below Kipu Falls. This image was taken at 70mm focal length with an exposure of 1/1600 at f/5, ISO 800.

There she goes!

My niece Amanda jumps from Kipu Falls into the water below. This image was taken at 1/1600 seconds at f/5, ISO 800 at 70mm focal length.

It's a jungle out there

This view is looking down the creek towards Kipu Falls on the hike in. This image was taken at 55mm focal length with an exposure of 1/60 seconds at f/5.6, ISO 400.

No, don't jump!

My brother-in-law John takes a leap off of the rocks next to Kipu Falls for a good 20 or 25 foot fall into the water in the pool below. We hard arrived pretty early, but by the time we left, it was getting pretty crowded. BTW, one of the early scenes in the first Indian Jones movie was filmed in the jungle below the falls and you can even see these falls in the background as Indy is confronted by the bad guy with the natives around him. This image was taken with my Canon 20D with my 18-55 kit lens at 28mm focal length with an exposure of 1/500 seconds at f/8, ISO 800.

Is that Tarzan?

No, it's just me, dropping into the water at Kipu Falls from a rope swing that hangs there. My brother-in-law took this shot of me flying through the air.....
