Cement Creek Cascade

Cement Creek, Yarra Ranges National Park, Victoria, Australia.
I would like to start off by thanking Lindsay very much for his company on a new years morning. It was cool, unlike now, and it was well worth the trip. It is a fantastic spot and as usual, from 73 photos shot, I got 6, I was happy with. Wading throught he water, and even having a leech take a meal from me was well worth every minute.
When you said be prepared to get wet, I didn’t think you meant get wet, but then I suppose you did not expect me to fall over 3 times. But as every season photographer knows, protect the camera, which I did. Thankyou very much Lindsay.
This shot was taken at approx 6.00am and with an aperture of f22, required an exposure of 30secs. I normally like to keep exposure to approx 5 secs in this type of situation, however, as the day was going to be bright and sunny, we shot just after sunrise to beat the light which would create a very contrasty scene.

    stunning work I think it’s be worth gettin wet for,sounds like ya need some fly fishers felt bottom shoes

  • Mark Jones replied

    Thankyou, Someone else has suggested similar, but you know, I don’t mind getting wet. I guess it adds to the satisfaction when it all comes together like this. Anyway, I would be too worried if I fell over and could not get up with them on.

    Thanks, Sheryl.
    It was worth getting up New Years morning for. I don’t drink so I had no hang over to worry about, and nor does Lindsay, so it made for a great start to the morning.
