Russell Falls

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

I must say I am feeling rather pleased with myself. Yesterday was a visit to Mt Field National Park, and the Russell Falls. The Russell falls are deceptively difficult to photograph as when there are significant flows of water air turbulence from the waterfall throws mist forward onto the camera, leaving fine water drops on the lens.

Not today however. Armed with a cloth that I threw over the lens until I was ready, I cast away the cloth and took the photo. The end result a rather decent 1 second exposure of Russell Falls, which can no go with my photos of Lady Barren and Horse Shoe Falls.

I also took some time out to make a short video.

It’s funny how things work out. Yesterday’s trip to Mt Field National Park was to take pictures of Russel, Horseshoe & Sharpe Falls to include in a 2010 Calendar. As it turns out, the photos were terrible. However the road to Lake Dobson revealed the spectacular site of Mt Field well capped in snow. So of all the photos taken yesterday, this is my pick of the bunch.

Marriot Falls

Marriot Falls was the ultimate destination of my trip that went via Lake Meadowbank. The track to get there was a little different to what was advertised on other websites. The falls themselves are quite spectacular, and I believe moreso than the Russell Falls nearby. Unfortunately due to the higher than normal water flow due to recent rains, I was unable to get as close as I would have liked, and as a result the photo has been obscured by trees.

Track notes for those interested can be found here.

Lady Barren Falls

Lady Barren Falls

I have to admit, I am not particularly fond of this photo, mainly because there was nowhere to compose the photo other than a small platform built by the Parks and Wildlife Service, which had a tree overgrowing the more interesting aspects of the falls. There is definitely a lot more water flowing over this waterfall than there is over the Horse Shoe Falls & Russell Falls. Did I mention the 1 hour round trip is quite a hike?
