Falling Through Moonlight

Night at Wattamolla Lagoon Falls under a full moon – the Lagoon was inky black under the moon – talk about Creature from the Black Lagoon material. Very spooky and very beautiful at the same time – not a soul around for miles (well none that I saw anyway),

Shot at Wattamolla, Royal National Park, just south of Sydney.

Canon 30D
Tv: 93secs
Av: f/4.5
ISO: 200
FL: 21mm cropped

A moonlit waterfall shot, now that is different, love your work Geoff.

Thanks Travis – waterfalls are particularly magic under a full moon I think.
CaseySmith

Wow Geoff what a great shot, can I ask how long was your exposure for the photo.
Geoff Coleman... replied

Hi Casey – thanks for the feedback – 93 secs – other specs now with the image. Got the MkIII yet? I took this one with the 30 D

Magical image…............
Travis Easton

Had never occured to try one, though many are in deep shadow even under a full moon. Ern Mainka has some cool multiple hour shots of the 12 apostles taken at night too. thanks for the inspiration Geoff.
Geoff Coleman... replied

There is nothing like landscape under a full moon – it never ceases to amaze me just how beautiful moonlight is and yet we landscapers are all so biased to daylight.
CaseySmith

Thanks Geoff, Tomorrow I will have it, I so cant wait, I am hoping to get a decent photo tomorrow after work and I will post it on here if I do.
Stephen Rowsell

fantastic—phenomenal lighting here… I love how you’ve captured the water spidering out into the pond below.
Geoff Coleman... replied

Thanks Steve – I just loved those streaming tendrils which you can only see under the moonlight.

93 sec. Oh my…... This is amazing!! Wonderful! If I try a 93 sec exposure it will be over exposed!! How did you do this? Wonderfully done. Brendan
Geoff Coleman... replied

Thanks Brendan – the 30D is actually superb with noise, particularly at low ISO so it let me do the bulk of the night/longexposures without too much trouble.

What a cool shot. Shooting a waterfall at night under a fool moon; a great idea. I got to try that!
Geoff Coleman... replied

Thanks Adam – it is well worth the effort – you get a totall different effect compared to daylight.
John Absher

What a great shot Geoff!! 93 second exposure??!! Outstanding!! Glad I saw your name as Adam’s pick of the day or I may never have seen this image or any of the others in your portfolio. Took a quick look around and saw several other awesome shots, but will have to visit again when I have a little more time. This one is going in my fav’s for sure. Nice work Geoff!!
