Rainbow Falls

I went back to this scene today to try again with my EV at -3 and it was better..
Three Good Things:
1. Laughter - friends with the same sense of humour!
2. Lounging on a comfy couch in a bar built over the water, with a martini - for me, not the bar. That's where a comma makes the sense.
3. The name of a property we passed in the car - 'Forest Waters".

@stray_shooter ....this was the second attempt!

[Helen Jane]

Worth going back for a second look - what a great scene and you have captured the sheer power of the water falling down.

[Casablanca]

Love this, very well done.

[Pat Knowles]

Lovely smooth water Maggie! Beautiful light, it looks quite summery still! Love the little rainbowI colour at the bottom of the waterfall. I like the lounging weird, I'm partial to a bit if lounging myself these days!

[Judith Johnson]

Such a perfectly stunning capture

[Babs]

Well worth a second visit.

[Thom Mitchell]

Beautiful flowing-water effect!!

[Lou Ann]

Lovely, and I like your 3 things a lot!

[Mickey Anderson]

Beautiful, when I locate my tripod I want to try this!! The small flow on the left is really nice!!

[Helen Sanderson]

lovely - looks quite similar to a waterfall I photographed here recently

[Maggiemae]

@hrs This area has numerous waterfalls, Helen - all worthy of a photograph!

[Maggiemae]

@happypat The blues seem to come out quite obviously when using a slow exposure on water, Pat! Lounge away - the word really does not mean getting up all the time!

Super capture, composition

[Elyse Klemchuk]

This is very beautiful!

[Tony]

Clever you. Brilliant capture. Fav

[Ron]

Forget the ND filter - you've got this down now! All the way to PP and TP! Congrats!

[Maggiemae]

@stray_shooter this worked at this distance but not closer! Still need that ND filter!

[Ali P]

In my part of the world - Paihia! Are you coming here or have you already been?

[Peter Dulis]

Lovely capture ...

[Ann Williams]

Such a lovely scene. I do like a waterfall.

[Maggiemae]

@alinz Oh really? Didn't realise that. We lounged in the comfy seats of the 'Alongside' bar and cafe and had a martini and coffee the other day. But now in Tauranga Bay.

[Elisabeth Sæter]

Wonderful shot

[Granagringa]

Lovely blue tones in the falls.

Congratulations for hitting the PP with this photo. You can rest on your laurels now you have achieved silky water!!

[Dinah Pinkston]

This is such a beautiful scene; the silky water is very nicely done.

[Ali P]

@maggiemae we just moved 6 weeks ago. let me know if you visit again!

[Delwyn Barnett]

Are these the falls at Waipapa? If so, it is possible (for my kids anyway) to get in behind the falls themselves. I would love to do it, but I think it is tricky and very slippery. Would make such an awesome photo though.

[Maggiemae]

@dkbarnett they are in Kerikeri, Delwyn and I think you slide down a slippery path if you are young enough to get behind these Falls

[Delwyn Barnett]

@maggiemae Haha I have to agree with you Maggie, but would love to do it!!

[K1W1]

Nailed it on the second trip. Beautiful. There used to be so many wonderful little cafes in Kerikeri. My sister and I go up there for a drive every time I come home. So looking forward to July :)
