- Incredible Sun Valleys to Light Up the Night and Day at 2010 World ExpoThis incredible Sun Valley is one of a six giant funnel-shaped canopies that are currently springing up in Shanghai in preparation for the 2010 World Expo. When they are all completed they won’t just be a pretty sight – the towering LED-studded structures will also collect rain water and act as massive sun collectors that [...]
- Wireless Road Trains Keep Highway Vehicles Linked TogetherWhat if you could drive onto the highway, take your hands off the wheel, and sit back and read a book? That might not be as far-fetched as you might think if an EU-financed research project is successful. The project, dubbed SARTRE (Safe Road Trains for the Environment) wants to link vehicles together in eight-car [...]
- Opportunity Green Proves That Green Design is Good BusinessThis year’s Opportunity Green conference proved that good design means good business, and it started from the moment we walked in the door. We were bestowed with a Kor water bottle (to be refilled at water stations placed throughout the conference groups) and full set of To-Go Ware complete with canvas case and carabiner belt [...]

Very nice, Thomas! I probably would add a little bit more colours on rocks.
I wish all Australian waterfalls always have enough water. I remember a few years ago I shot Apsley falls in NSW. It was like a small almost dry creek. Last spring I shot it again right after the rain – it was like Niagara.
Thanks Ilya, lovely to see it damp. But not going to spend much time editing these.
Hi Tom,
I thought I’d check your blog to see if you had got out and about shooting after that nice rain event….and you did !
I like the first image batter as it includes more of the elements other than the waterfall itself in it. Nice work.
Cheers Tony,
It was pissing down was raining when I took this, had the Akubra sitting on the 5D MKII. Plus my remote shutter packed it in so I had the timer on, so it was a pain in the arse.
Love waterfalls shots keep em coming. I guess because there is pretty much none around Perth
Very nice mate! I agree with Neal
that second one is my favourite!
Hi Tom,
I was at Erskine Falls near Lorne the other day and trying to take photos of the waterfall but struggled to get the water looking as good as yours in this picture. What settings did you have your camera on for these shots?
Chris
Hey mate,
It was a f/16, 1 second exposure with ISO 200, I must have forgot to turn my ISO back down to 100 but doesn’t matter. I was also using a Graduated Neutral Density Filter however a polariser would be fine.
I must do a waterfall road trip through the Otways one day.
Cheers,
Tom
wow that’s stunning! i’ve got to try this some day (:
