Russell Falls

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.

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?

When most people visit Mt Field, the main attraction in the Russell Falls. but with the lack of sustained rain, I feel that these falls are quite underwhelming. Instead I took photos of the two other major waterfalls in the park, the Horse Shoe (Pictured) and Lady Barren (Tomorrow’s photo) Falls.
