Take Two

Take Two

I took a shot from this spot 2 years ago after I had being doing photography for about a year, and the shot that i got(which is on my PF) i was never happy with because i couldn’t get everything in the shot that i wanted with the lens I had back then, so the first time I’ve been back since then I had my trusty 10-20mm with me to get the shot i wanted, i was lucky enough to have a load of rain the days leading up to this and the sun was going down and just caught it as it was fading over the falls allowing some nice light in. I wasn’t sure if i liked the portrait style shot more but went with this, might show the other one a bit later.

    Great shot. I’ve noticed a few Tassie waterfall shots about the place after all the recent rains – I haven’t been here long enough to see a lot of the falls with good water so I’ve got a lot of touring to plan I think! Look forwatd to seeing more.

  • Michael Walters replied

    Thanks mate, Yeah it’s about time we got our waterfalls flowing again, so im sure everyone with a camera is getting out there again, there are a lot to see thats for sure, enjoy the touring round.

You’ve really brought out the amazing beauty of Horseshoe Falls and thanks again, to the trusty 10-20, what great electronic eyes it has ;) I just love the foreground detail here, captured perfectly. You really draw the viewer into this image – I feel like I want to eat it that yummy foreground is so invitiing! You’re an awesome photographer and scanning through your portfolio i see so much colour and beauty, you’re really hard to beat Michael. Thanks for another fave :)) I think all your work is just about in my favourites ;8)

    Stuart Chapman

    I really like the low angle, it opens the shot up a real treat and the greens on the rocks compliment the trees and plants behind. The sunlight just creeping through the trees is a nice touch and the water movement is just as I like it – silky smooth and white

  • Michael Walters replied

    Thank you very much Stuart, it was great fun taking this shot and I had the waders on so i could get in the water and get nice and low. Glad you like this one and appreciate your comment very much.
