I spent 2 weeks in the Pacific Northwest and it was overcast and rainy nearly everyday. As such it was perfect weather for shooting waterfalls and streams. Why? Direct sunlight creates too much contrast for film or digital sensors to record.
Hike up the trail adjacent to the falls, and you'll discover the source of the majestic Multnomah Falls. The water is crystal clear, ice cold and makes for interesting images as it rolls through tiny rapids before dropping hundreds of feet. So I dragged my sorry arse up a mile of mountain switchbacks, braving both rain and panting hikers, planted my tripod, and was ready to make art. To my chagrin, the sun burst forth in all his glory. I eventually got the shot, but only after standing in the same dad burn spot for 30 minutes waiting for a cloud to cover the sun! Thank God for Jack Daniels and the Apple iPod.
