We have been there before so we only got the ground pass. While the others took the house tour we went to take pictures of the house and a portrait of Ninoska.

This portrait was taken around 4:50 PM so the ambient light was very good. However, Ninoska and the closer objects were coming up underexposed; to compensate I used a strobe coming from camera left at just over 1/4 power and with a CTO gel pointed to her. It worked great and left very little shadow as you can see on her back. To get the misty waterfalls I set the camera exposure time to 1/4 of a sec, the aperture to f/11.3 and ISO 100.

Below is one of the pictures I took of the house:
