Taken yesterday and to say it was cold would be an understatement, and getting to the falls was a nightmare resulting in me having water up to my right thigh

Excellent photo..!
Considering the weather forecast I've just seen (snow, snow, rain, rain, snow) you were probably lucky to get weather this good...

this was taken in a 5 minute window while the snow went off lol

But absolutely worth it. That is a fantastic shot Davie. The lighting and composition reminds me very much of those 18th Century painters like Frederic Edwin Church and Albert Bierstadt. Very dramatic and monumental. Wonderful stuff.

 

[Davie Hudson]

Thanks guys I felt myself it was worth it when I was taking it to a point that i took my time with it which isn't like me.

Funny you say that about the painters Pete, I printed it out on Hahnemuele(?) Photo Rag paper and it does look very painting like

 

[Darren Turner]

Brilliant Davie, really worth the trek........ Composition is brilliant, as is the foreground interest of that raging river.

Well Done, Roll on more snow, i cant wait to See more in the wild winter conditions you are expecting up there.

Great image Davie, very dramatic. So you didn't fancy going up to the summit then?

being totally honest Paul I have no interest in climbing mountains at all lol .. I love the majesty of them that you see from the bottom

 

[Paul Lange]

I must admit it has lost it's appeal on me too. You get all the way up there only to realise that you are cold, tired and have to go all the way back down again!

I see why it's lost it's appeal, it's a sport/hobby I don't get though in a way it's similar to what i do in getting to the photo site :/

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Wow, what a location - props for getting there and for a stunning composition.

Love the way the break in the cloud reflects the shape of the mountain

 

[Davie Hudson]

Thanks Chris,

I'm very happy with the way it turned out, thankfully, because it was a hard one to get to ... A lot harder than it looked at first

 

[Dan Cattermole]

If we ever had the chance to go and take pictures of these spectacular mountains armed with our Oly's, you'd be at the bottom getting wet feet, while I'd be running to the peak freezing my nesticles off!!! Haha!!
Great shot Davie, is that efforts of the sun coming through and trying to shine on just the mountain or was it done in PP? However it was done its still impressive.

 

[Brodie Jackson]

What a lovely picture

 

[Davie Hudson]

Thank you both , that was indeed the sun trying
To come out with the snow storm moving off to the left and Dan you are more than welcome to go for the peak of this one, the mountain is legendary with a lot of mythology surrounding it

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Ooh, I'll look into that Davie.....
