On the slopes of the Great Dividing Range just north of Melbourne is Kinglake national park. Covered in temperate rainforest it has a few streams with water falls. This was taken just upstream from Masons Falls.

Taken from three images all at f29 and 8, 10 and 13 sec exposures, with a CPL filter.

Thanks to John Plumb (JPlumb) for his very helpful advice and Santo (skippy007) for accompanying me on this trip (and patiently waiting as I fiddled around with tripods and filters).

If your interested in Lyrebirds have a look at the WS which was the only shot I got of one.

and here is a photo of me taking a shot close to this one.

Hi Stephen,
How wonderful is the Australian bush, the colours, the diversity. Very good capture, takes me straight there. The fiddling with filters and tripod was well worth the effort
Cheers!

Hi Steve, I look at this quite & tranquil scene & I can hear the water gently cascading over the rocks so peaceful & quite, Hang on a sec. I think I can hear weird noises like children playing with their toy guns & other animals like dogs, cats, I'm not sure very strange sounds. My apologies it's those strange & beautiful looking Lyrebirds as we know they have extraordinary ability to mimic natural and artificial sounds. Lovely scene, very well captured with good detail & colour. The 3 exposure was a good idea, made it possible to obtaining detail under the fallen log.
Cheers
Santo

Hi Stephen. Not a dramatic fall, all noise and drama. Just a lovely, unassuming one beautifully caught with the enormous boulders lying diagonally and giving us a sense of depth and remoteness.The ferns, dead leaves and moss all contribute to a subtle richness. regards. Klaudio.

Very well composed, Stephen! Its not easy to make a nice composition in situations like this, because its easy to do that empty photos, without nothing else but the waterfalls. But you did a nice work framing to down and finding some nice details that put the waterfall in the second place.

Hello Stev, now I have some impression of you from the back! I have seen this cascade back in June with santo but not much water then.

This is a very nice POV of the waterfall with the fern leaves in the FG. f/29 has definitely given you the perfect clarity of everything and the slow shutter speed resulted in a silky smooth falling water. You have used the CPL well to avoid any reflection in the water. The exposure is still excellent despite the use of CPL. Is it entirely due to long exposure or there is a special PP technique given by JPlumb?
Thanks for sharing a beautiful piece of work.
Alfred
