CASDAK outing: Gibraltar Falls

After the recent heavy rain we've had across the state, Barry Armstead and I thought it might be worthwhile going for a bit of a hike through the Gibraltar Creek Pine Forest in Woods Reserve to photograph Gibraltar Falls around the Golden Hour.

It took me a little while to get down the beaten path; the path is a little tricky for someone who doesn't go hiking often. Barry had no problem, but, I was a bit sluggish behind him. We finally made it to the bottom of the falls (drenched in sweat, as it was rather humid!), where I stacked it and fell smack on my side whilst trying to navigate the slippery rocks to scout the best spot to image from.

I managed to make this photo whilst Barry was imaging a skink or lizard on one of the tiny ledges which look out at the waterfall.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM

Slightly higher resolution available here.

Comments, critique, etc., most welcome.

Regards,
Humayun
