The Weeping Swirls

Posted on by

The beautiful thing about the Weeping Falls (or as I know them the lower Bridal Veil falls) is the amount of different perspectives on the falls, over on the left crouched between a few rocks I noticed this nice little eddy current swirling around (only after taking the first 30 second shot 🙂 )

The lush green foliage, the fog and the filtered light worked perfectly to light the scene, even at 30 seconds it was a striggle to capture all the shadow detail.

Techie data:
D7000 with Tokina 11-16mm f2.8 @ 11mm Aperture: f/9.5
out front – Hoya screw in circular polariser and neutral density filter (3 stops)

As always, I welcome any suggestions, comments and improvements to my photography, they are always warmly welcomed

  21. Very nice! The swirling of the water in the lower left makes for a very dynamic composition. The eye is drawn to the waterfall, the swirl, and all around the image. Great job.

  28. you must place your body in awkward positions between slippery rocks and boulders….oustanding shots though…i'm pretty impressed! be well and safe….

  34. This one is a stunning compo mate
    Your rounds of the falls lately has proved to be very productive – we've certainly had the weather for it
    It may be a very minor thing but I reckon that it may have been better without that still froth and bubbles on the lower right?

  41. Great shot! I love the texture of the green rock to the left of the falls, and the patch of light above the falls- it makes me wonder what is up there- lots to look at, excellent work!

  42. A wonderful, magical shot! I don't know much about waterfall captures, but any reason why you went for such a long exposure? Without the ND filter, that might have come down to 15 seconds or so?

    Still, incredibly beautiful!!
