Hopkins Falls
A few weeks ago I traveled to what once
was a relatively nearby waterfall…
Hopkins Falls on the Hopkins River.
I wasn’t really happy with any of the photos.
I tried a slow shutter speed here,
but too much water for that silky look
that many waterfall photos have.
I used to live with in 50 kilometres of this water fall
and only visited it one less than a handful of occasions,
and never with this much water flowing.
So…it looks like back to the drawing board
as far as photographing waterfalls is concerned.
~~~~~~
Enjoy.

Great photos. If you want to take long shutter speed photos of water use a filter which darkens the image so that you can use the longer shutter speed to give that soft look. I must get out and do some myself. This means that you can do this during the day. Hope this helps

Thanks Raewyn. I did have problems getting a reasonable photo….do you mean a neutral density filter? Must confess that it was just something I tried to achieve. I would like to be able to achieve that look, however, it is not one of the ‘must dos’…if you know what I mean.

That looks like a very powerful waterfall. Why is the water brown in parts of it?

I think the colour was due to mud which had been gathered due to recent rains. The whole fall had this brownish colour most of the time.
