Thanks Wayne. The Moon was so bright when it was up high we didn't even need our headlamps. A few times during the walk in we turned them off too and just trekked via moonlight. It was quite surreal.

Thanks Greg, I appreciate your comments. You're completely right about the sky - the problem was, I was using my Canon 40D and with the crop sensor I just didn't have a wide enough lens to fit all of the falls AND more sky.

I was using the 5D Mk II and 14mm doing other shots so this was all I could do with the timelapse.

Definitely not the composition I was after for the timelapse but the shadow made the scene dramatic enough.

Greg.

Thanks for the kind words Greg but Alex, Phil and Colin are almost unstoppable. I'll be happy to just to have more work to enter - it's been slim pickings for me the last few years.

Thanks Rolf, appreciate your comments. I wasn't sure initially what value the timelapse would be because with 30s exposures, the water itself wasn't going to change much from frame to frame. But after looking at a few frames and seeing the shadow creep across, I knew it would still be worthwhile continuing to capture the scene.

Thanks again!
