Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

OK we've seen the top of Wentworth Falls, gone down some stairs & checked out as far as most tourists go. Now we're off to the base of the falls

Image

So we go down some stairs,then down some ladders with cages around them (can't believe I didn't get a picture of the ladders) 5 of 'em from memory.
Down the rope

And here we are at the base of the falls

Of course I didn't stop here I just kept going another 1/2 hour down (very steeply) the track - so more to come later

So you got to within 500 metres of home & didn't even say hello :humph:

Seriously, these are great photos. You did well to get as much water as you did though.
Did you get as far as Hippocrene Falls? or did you just do the Valley of the Waters loop via Federal Pass.
It has been many years since I have got down there. Gotta get fit first though Those stairs are anything but Slack :roll:

Great effort, and great pictures to tell the story. Can I say that the colours look very much like the ones that came out of my S5 Pro when I was shooting down at the Pool of Siloam earlier in the year, and I didnt think they were all that accurate.

Sorry Mr D. I was in a hurry to get to the base this trip & too exhausted to stop on the way home :lol: , next time I get a day off I'll give you a yell though. I'm sure there are easier locations up your way to poit a lens at :wink:
Not sure about Hippocrene falls, I guess not. Bugger I'll have to go back.
Might wait until after the heat dies down a bit, should i give you a call :twisted: . as for valley of waters loop, nah that's for girls. I went back out the way I came & passed a guy sufferring from vertigo coming down the ladders (poor fella)

Nicely done! I couldn't have negotiated these stairs, ladders and rope that's for sure.

Your shutter speed is perfect to capture the wooly water.
