Critique Welcomed Upper Gledhill Falls

[Milan Vjestica]

A slight detour from the trip to watch the moon rise took us to this little waterfall and swimming area. It requires a little scrambling to get there but is worth the effort.



I thought I would add a square crop of another image I took whilst there just to keep on the right side of the admin personage!

 

[Pete Askew]

Definitely worth the detour and what a wonderful spot - enchanted almost. Love the light on the rocks and ferns on the far side.

 

[Milan Vjestica]

It was about an hour before sunset and just at the right angle. Thanks Pete.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

"No longer available" - I can't see it.

 

[Pete Askew]

That's 'cos it's nightie over there, Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Or even nighttime

 

[Milan Vjestica]

Daylight again and I can see it. Time zones... pah. They will reverse the seasons next!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I can see the second image only. It is so clear and very beautiful.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

A great spot Milan an accomplished image.

 

[Milan Vjestica]

I will edit the first image in again.

Thank you Rob, Pete and Julian for the comments.

 

[John Plant]

Very well executed photos- dont know which I prefer #1 has great composition. #2 has stunning sharpness.

 

[Milan Vjestica]

Thank you John. I too look at them and have been undecided. However, I find myself leaning toward the second mostly for the way the water is portrayed.

 

[Peter McCullough]

wOw such quality and clarity! Can I ask please which camera and lens used for those SUPERB captures ?

Regards;
Peter

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Milan the first image was not showing on the first visit here. That is a beauty.

 

[Douglas McMann]

Superb images Milan...No.2 is excellent...

 

[Milan Vjestica]

Thank you all.

Peter, they were both taken with a Nikon D800 and Tamron 24-70 f2.8 VC. The first was set at 35mm f16 0.4s ISO 1600 (yep I checked twice). The second was 42mm (supposedly close to the weak spot of this lens), f16, 8s, ISO100 and cropped. I also ran the second through a software package to sharpen as on some images it does it way better than LR can.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

No matter what you did, you did excellently and the second is a winner of the two. Lovely place. Did you go for a swim as it's still summer by you?

 

[Milan Vjestica]

Hi Ivar, we are now in Autumn! Summer finished two weeks ago. Just after I took this shot a father and his three kids went swimming in the pool. It is about 3m deep. I did not go in as I was on my way to meet a friend, otherwise very tempting.

Thank you Ivar.
