Bushwalk Australia

Gday all, I went for a little wander on sunday to Lady Barron Falls, there was some good water flowing, a little chilly on the legs after a few hours of standing in it and there was plenty of fungi on the forest floor to keep me busy, and it was nice and overcast which was a bonus. Here are a few that I got.

Cheers,
Michael.

Great shots Michael.

Nice set Michael!

For those toadies- what sort of lighting did you use, if I may ask?

Nice pics, but last time I was there the water wasn't so blurry

Thanks for the comments everyone

It was all natural lighting on the fungi shot, it was amlost a perfect natural set up for the photo, the angle which I wanted to shoot from had nice diffuse light from the right hand side, I was quite lucky with that one, setting were from memory ISO 50, f/16 and 45 seconds.

Wow. The depth and clarity is outstanding. It's easy to feel like you are actually there.

You've done exceptionally well to not get any background ferns blurring due to the long shutter speed. Whenever I'm out there always seems to be just a puff of breeze that ruins it.

Great shots!

Yeah it was unusually calm down in the stream, even up closer to the falls where there is usually a lot of cool air pooling and causing turbulence, I was quite lucky to get minimal foilage movement, and also trying to avoid using any foilage as a central part of the compositions helps a bit.

A nice set of waterfalls Michael. My favourites are the shorter exposures, 3-10 sec.

Cheers, Lex

Hi Michael. As part of the update of the Wiki I added a link to this topic in the List of Waterfalls.

Thanks Lex. Thanks for doing that WalkinTas.
