a glimpse into Tassie
Posted by DarkElf (Perth, Australia) on 1 March 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.
this photo was taken on my trip to Tasmania in November 2008... Tasmania is a beautiful place with a lot of different and very varied landscapes, from rainforest to rugged mountains to amazing coastlines ...
this photo shows the Horseshoe Falls in Mt Field National Park... i really enjoyed my time there... these falls are located about 150m behind the giant Russell Falls and i think the main tourist attention stays on them so it was easy to get there by myself and have a bit of time to take a photo or two while enjoying a bit of solitude and listening to the sounds of the forest...
welcome to my photoblog and thanks for visiting... my aim is to learn photography and share my experiences with you, not only through my attempts at photography, but also through showing different aspects of the world that have caught my interest over the time that i have been walking this planet... hope you enjoy the journey with me...

Nice shot, once again, the fall of the river in the rocks. Beautiful color every time.

Tasmania must really be a savage place... almost untouched... but for how many times...

Sure does look warm, especially to the cold we are having. I like the slower shutter speed on waterfalls and the green colors. Well done!

This has a magic kingdom feeling to it . . the colors and composition are such a delight. If I were try describe the 'perfect setting', this would be it.

beautiful photo love the colors and I was wondering if you used a filter to get the effect of the water
2 Mar 2009 4:30am
@Double KK Photography: hello and thanks for visiting by blog :-) at the moment i always carry three filters with me, the polarizer, 2 stop ND and 3 stop ND - for this shot i am pretty sure i had only the polarizer on - it was darkish already and the polarizing filter allowed for the 2 sec exposure and also cut our reflections from the water and wet rock...

Zamienię zimę na kawałek lata. Nogi pomoczę w ciepłej wodzie.
W sobotę obsunąłem się do strumyka z zimną wodą i łaziłem chlupocząc ponad godzinę w śniegu i mrozie . Dla zdrowotności i sztuki ma się rozumieć :)

Some Australians I know said Tasmania is beautiful. You have presented the photographic proof of that claim. It is so lush. Love that slow shutter speed.

I like this one because of the moss on the stones…

shoti from Everywhere in the, Philippines
good choice of composition, putting those rocks in the foreground. using slow shutter increased the drama, too. however, something is not straight in the picture. I can't point which particular line but looking at it makes me feel I want to tilt it to the left. I dunno.
4 Mar 2009 8:08am
@shoti: hello Shoti! i suspect here it's all a matter of what you take as your reference point... if it is the edge of the fall then you could say the frame needs tilting... if you reference off the branch across the fall, the trees and the actual water trajectory then it looks reasonably fine to me...
WABIKOJA from Shiga, Japan
Very nicely done. Great composition, framing and detail.
