View Large and fill that 16:9 screen with what its meant to be filled with – panorama love 🙂 – if you can find a deer in there you win a prize 😉
Its very interesting story how deer ended up in the Royal National Park and their subsequent survival, decline and then expansion over the last 100 odd years. I would never had though it that difficult to eradicate the relatively small number from what is, really a pretty small park – I guess logistics, process and bureaucracy have played an important role here.
Anyway, whatever the case with the deer, there is still one place named after them, that is, Deer Pool, a nice serene pool with a small waterfall and beach, btw that waterfall looks like it would make a mad waterslide, pity about the big rock at the bottom to take your tailbone out 😉
It was quite a difficult set of falls to shoot for me, the size of the falls within the frame is quite small and I needed to zoom in quite a bit to really fill the frame, as such, when all else fails, pano it 🙂
3 shot panorama view.
Techie data:
D7000 with Nikkor 17-55mm f2.8 @ 45mm – Aperture: f/13 and Shutter Speed: multiple ( 3 brackets) – however I did only end up using one image – the lighting was diffused and even enough that a single raw file had all the required dynamic range needed (for me)
out front -Hoya screw in circular polariser and Hoya ND8 Neutral Density filter
I welcome any suggestions, comments and improvements to my photography, they are always warmly welcomed and always appreciate the time people take to have a look, plus and/or comment.
Improvements?
"Tell him he's dreaming!"
This works beautifully, great composition and rich (but realistic) colour.
Beautiful pic
Love the waterfall!! Beautiful! Thanks for sharing with the #LandscapePhotography theme!!
Outstanding shot mate. I wish I could get to places like this.
You didn't try some of the local mushrooms while you were waiting for your exposure, did you?
I can't see any Deer 🙂
I can't definitively see the deer, but I do think I see something behind the tree on the right side of the frame. I did notice you got some great detail when I zoomed in. Brilliant image, the 16:9 was a good choice.
Really mangificent !
cheers +Alison Christensen , i do work hard to try and achieve that natural but punchy colour 🙂 I appreciate the comment!
thanks +Fredrik Larsson and +Margaret Tompkins
+Walter Gawronski
mmm mushrooms, rest assured there are deer, just maybe not in this image 🙂
Getting to alot of theses con be difficult and in some ways that's the challenge – to try and capture somewhat unique imagery. That said I am partial to the locations where you can roll out of ya car and just start shooting 🙂
Thanks Walter.
Thanks +Marc Briggs 🙂 The detail is pretty good, there is still a bit of blurriness due to the breeze that had picked up in the morning, but you cant have everything 🙂
Thanks again.
Thanks +sophie DIDIER

+Gerard Blacklock I really respect the effort blokes like you, +Tarun Bhushan , +Rodney Campbell and +Shane Williams put into your shots.
I've never ever gone to those lengths, I'm a sort of opportunistic shooter.
You people are really dedicated to your craft.
I have a medical condition which prevents me from accessing sites like this – it's called 'geriatric bariatric apathy' (too old and fat and can't be bothered)
🙂
Great description of your method here +Gerard Blacklock
Very interesting, I'm often getting ideas for future shots from you!
+Walter Gawronski "effort" is a sporadic quality in my shots mate depending on my level of a similar condition, but I appreciate the kind mention. 😉
Great result. Must go here. The only thing that looks sort of out of place is a dark object on the flat bit just to the right of midway in the frame – is that the deer? Thanks for the mention +Walter Gawronski.
