    Another perfect shot and a wonderful offering indeed! Very pretty composition. Knowing absolutely nothing about the technical terminology, I can only appreciate the end result and I certainly do!

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

    Believe me Lianne a lot of the technical stuff goes over my head also but I’m gradually getting there! Thank you so much.

    G’day Rosalie,

    Though not as intimate as the one on which I previously commented, nevertheless this cascade photograph carries the same quality as before, demonsrating very good control over exposure and good composition.
    Nice work that girl!

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

    Dennis I do appreciate your input – and especially the favouriting!! While this was a much faster shutter speed than the Bridal Veil one, I was not unhappy with the result. I think I’m gradually getting there with these more controlled shots!! :)

    Can’t leave a photographer’s replay because I’m not one – I just play with a camera. But I know what I like when I see it. I know what is good when it is in front of me. I really like this, it’s pleasing to look at…. and the soft water as done so very well. This Rosalie my friend is why you are so good… you delight people’s eyes.

    Hi Rosalie,

    I was looking at your Bridal Veil Falls image and realised I recognised your work from POTD. I’m listed there as Dejohn. From there I have come to reminisce at your Leura Cascades. We used to go there when we were younger in groups and spend afternoons swimming and picnicing. Its such a pretty place.

    Love you work.

    Regards
    Deborah.

  • Rosalie Dale IPA replied

    Hi Deborah – small world!! (Actually there are a lot of POTDs on here … and shutterbugs AND BetterPhoto etc!!!). Welcome to RB – I’m sure you’ll enjoy the ‘addiction’!!! I am also familiar with Cullen Bullen for many reasons … am aiming to get to Lithgow for some shots in the not too distant future.
    Thank you for the visit and kind words … great to hear from you!
