It was a bit of a hike to get to this location and so I didn't take my tripod with me. In hindsight I wish I had as I would have been able to slow the shutter speed down to get a milky smooth effect on the falling water. This was originally a 3 shot panorama as I could not move back any further, but I ended up cropping it to A3 paper size for printing. All post processing was done in PSE.  MacKenzie Falls, Grampians National Park - Victoria

I'm glad you didn't have your tripod. I hate "milky" water falls. This is a beautiful picture. Crisp and exciting. Wish I was there. Berie

I'm with Berengaria on this one - I too hate 'milky' water. This looks like a beautiful place. Looking at this photo I can almost hear the fall of the water.

Thank you Berengaria and BillieJean  In this situation (or photographing streams or fountains) I would normally take quite a few photos at various shutter speeds ranging from freezing the flow of water to creating a "milky" flow of water. I would then decide on the keepers, depending on which worked best, after viewing them on my computer screen back home. For me, I like both frozen water flow which creates a dynamic and more dramatic powerful scene and milky smoothed out water flow which creates a serene, calming, soothing feeling (well to me at least). The top of Mackenzie Falls ( location on Google Maps) is about a 30 minutes hike from the car park. You then have to walk down the steps to get to the base of the falls. That was the easy part. The hard part was climbing back up the stairs  . The people near the bottom left corner give a sense of scale regarding the height of the falls. |
