The Mighty
The first time I visited the mid section of Katoomba Falls I flunked the composition. Second time round I broke a few land-based rules to get the right position. With such depth to capture, as opposed to the “front-on” angle, or even side-on, I find a long exposure, in this case 100 seconds, fills that depth with body. Seeping the light with a 9-stop ND filter, like dripping treacle off a spoon. Or something poetic like that. Canon 5D Mark II, shot in Monochrome. Blue Mountains National Park.

What can I add that I haven’t already said about your amazing slow exposure work Peter? Just that – you sure didn’t flunk the composition this time…

Very nice indeed. Nothing like breaking rules. I love the two falls at the top or are they shafts of light? Nonetheless…really nice work here.
