I have been on to four waterfalls lately out of which I had to skip two of them (Triplet falls and Beauchamp falls) considering it was almost 3 kms walk. Hopetoun falls was the last one I visited and decided to go for it. I have heard that these waterfalls are photographed well especially if its raining. Not to mention the weather during my entire trip was bad and luckily it was raining. People who are planning to visit any of these falls, just a quick tip, you have to be extra fit to walk up really really steep stairs. I was literally exhausted and could beg for water. But yeah, making an effort to reach such falls is worth a go, you wouldn't regret it. I used focus stacking with 3 different focal points for this image to get everything sharp and clear.
