My son, Davin. Just turned 2 in September.
Cement Creek is about 10 minutes outside of Warburton in the Yarra Valley, Victoria on the way to Mt Donna Buang. Beautiful little spot with many little hidden cascades like this magnificent specimen. To check out other shots from this area see my Yarra Ranges gallery.

Sylvia Falls – Valley of the Waters was shot in the Blue Mountains National Park, NSW, on 21 April 2008 (a wet and misty day), with a Canon EOS 10D, 28-90mm zoom at 28mm, tripod, 1/2 second, ISO 100. _______ Larger view recommended !! _______ _________ Update I finally decided upon and acquired a wide angle lens, always with returning to these magnificent falls a foremost thought:

Yosemite National Park – April 2008 Dragged myself out of bed at 7am with a raging temperature and flu in minus temps. Skated with tripod along an ice covered bridge to re-shoot this waterfall after a corrupt CF card, anything for a shot huh??

The Valley of the Waters is @ Wentworth Falls In the Blue Mountains. The Valley of the Waters may be reached by a direct walking track, which descends steeply through temperate rainforest. Cool, moist, shady conditions prevail, and the area is a rich wildlife habitat. / Apart from the regular bushwalkers, you are likely to meet wetsuit-clad abseilers who like to take a more direct, and wet, route down the numerous waterfalls. / From the valley, National Pass takes the walker to the Wentworth Falls, then back up the cliffs to the village. / The Nature Track, & other cliff-top routes, make a good alternative for walkers who prefer to avoid the strenuous climb in and out of the valley. I made a video of this day, its on youtube http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=IUyyD0GvvsQ Shot: Nikon D40X / Format: Raw / Date: 2.8.08 / Exposure: 14.000 second / F No: 22.0 / Focal Length: 18.0mm / Tripod Used
I never did get around to posting all my autumn shots….so here’s another one…there’s a huge group of photogs all massed across the other side, trying to jostle for position on shifting reed beds and yuckky mud, and further across there’s a couple more. I gave up waiting over that side, and moved to the western edge to see what I could see…..now you can see what I could see :) This was processed in NZ with photomatix, back when I was probably a little overwhelmed by the colour….I might reprocess it and see if I like it better with my newer techniques New Zealand / Seascapes / Frogs / Lensbaby / Infrared / Industrial / Spam / Panorama / Landscapes / Real Estate Series / People
I said a few times I would not go back and shoot Sylvia Falls in the Valley of the Waters in Blue Mountains National Park until I got a wide angle lens. This was simply because the full scope of the supreme beauty of these particular falls is within its wholeness, which can only really be shot wide. I got the lens last week. Return To Sylvia Falls – Valley Of The Waters was shot in RAW using a Canon EOS 10D with Sigma 10-20mm at 10mm with a Warm Filter, ISO 200, 1/10 of a sec at f5.6. Featured in MASTERS OF THE SCENIC, Blue Mountains of NSW, Canon DSLR, Nature’s Wonders, Shots in the Fog, and Your Magic Place. Best viewed large! _____ _____ I used the word Return in the title to acknowledge an earlier work shot several months earlier in 2008, with a different lens: _____ See also Splendour In The Mist, which was shot at the same time as Return To Sylvia Falls – Valley Of The Waters All three images are included in the Waterfalls Of The Blue Mountains 2009 Calendar, available now:

Midnight In The Valley Here in the midnight, within the dark valley, shadows mingle with my yearning deeper, and sing I the hymns of want while the cool waters whisper over my skin. Thunder travels slowly away on the backs of the lightning. One after one nascent stars look down upon me with your eyes. Serene is the mood now from the vanishing storm-cloud, then all grows quiet while I chant your name. Shannon Donovan / May 6, 2009 / SP

The Fenland Trail in the morning affords a good opportunity to see wildlife moving around the marsh and river areas. This trail connects to the Bow River Trail which actually goes all the way into Banff townsite proper. If you have time, this is a nice easy walk to get to this area without actually having to drive to get to it. The Vermillion Lakes are slightly to the west of the Fenland Trail and you can either walk to them or drive your car and use the pulloffs available. It’s a bit noisy being so close to the Trans Canada Hwy, but the scenery more than makes up for it. Throughout the day you’ll see numerous waterfowl frequenting the area. The real draw, however, is in the evening when the winds are low and the water is still, making the lake surface a mirror reflection of the now beautifully lit Mt Rundle in the background.

Took this shot today (25/6/09) at Cement Creek is about 10 minutes outside of Warburton in the Yarra Valley. Beautiful little spot which is very popular with photographers but hopefully I’ve found a new angle on it here.

The rain and clouds finally cleared, just in time to allow me to get out to the lake while the leaves are still showing their finest colors. This is the shoreline of Rose Valley Lake in Gamble Township, north central Pennsylvania. Rose Valley is 5 miles east of the community of Trout Run. When you visit a beautiful place like Rose Valley Lake, please leave it exactly as you found it! Your food wrappers and empty containers must go back home with you for proper disposal. I had to do some cleaning up to be able to capture this pristine shot. Let’s all do the right thing, OK. Everyone benefits when we keep our “green” places green! This photo was taken on October 10th, 2009. It was shot with a Canon EOS 10D using a Canon EF 35-350mm f/3.5-5.6L zoom lens set to 90mm. The shutter speed was 1/45th sec. at f/8. The camera’s ISO was set to 100. Your comments are always welcome! Constructive criticism is appreciated. © 2009 Gene Walls All copyright and reproduction rights are retained by the artist.
