Norman Repacholi
Magnificent image Peter – your image has such depth! It must have been a very still day to get such detail in the foreground leaves with a 180sec exposure. Well done!

nancy salamouny
Peter, your work has an ethereal qulity… when i look at your work, i wonder if i am living on the same planet as you… you capture it like no other!
Peter Hill replied
I have been asked before what planet I am on, but I think that is not as bad as being asked what planet I am from. Indeed, I do wonder sometimes where I am at. These falls are incredibly photogenic in the right conditions, I love to shoot them. So much so that if the conditions are not right, I won’t bother to stop on my down the valley. They say the more you shoot the same thing the closer you get to capturing its essence, but I’d rather not overdo it!
Thank you for your kind words Nancy, they are most appreciated!

Lois Bryan
Peter … words fail me and that doesn’t happen often. Gazing at this magnificent image just reminds me how very, very much I still have to learn about photography. There’s far more to a work of art like this than mere slow shutter speed. My eyes are having a party in my head … they love the silky water … the peach/orange glow created by the light in some of the tiny pools … the defined, richly detailed leaves on the trees … the mists at the top of the falls … hey .. they even like the color and texture of the dirt left foreground!!!!! Thank you for sharing this with us … the inspiration will keep me plugging away at the instruction booklets!!! hugs … your faithful, awestruck fan …
Peter Hill replied
Lois, I really really appreciate your detailed feedback. It is a major factor in me being here, and I take on board everything. You mention things that I only see because of what you say. thank you!!!!!
Yool
