Bowen's Always Falling

Octane (Humayun) · #1 12-09-2009, 05:49 PM

This photograph was made at Milford Sound. The subject in question is Bowen Falls.

Bowen Falls are one of the first waterfalls one sees when entering Milford Sound. It is a 161 metre drop from top to bottom, which makes it the tallest constantly flowing fall in the fiord.

This image was made by manually blending a twice processed RAW file; one for the waterfall itself, and the other to highlight the foliage.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM
1/250s f/8.0 at 105.0mm iso200

Slightly higher version available here.

Comments, critique, etc., welcome.

David, Mitchell, David, Stephen & Adam,

Thank you, gents. I'm glad you enjoyed the image.

I am really fond of the 3-dimensionality of the water in this image.

Humayun
