This was taken from the lookout at fossil Bay Tasmania. It was fascinating to watch the weather rolling in from the south of the island.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at Rainbow Springs Rotorua New Zealand in 2011.

Time

It was around 10.30am and it was raining.

Lighting

The other teachers went through the Kiwi enclosure but I been there twice before and when I saw this man-made water fall I couldn’t resist it and this was also my first attempt at getting that silky look with the water.

Equipment

At the time I used a Nikon D80 using a zoom lens and as I didn’t have a tripod I used a chair at the restaurant on a table to hold the camera steady

Inspiration

I have always wanted to take a photo of water to get that silky look and this water fall was heaven sent.

Editing

Very little I cropped it, straightened the horizon and brightened it a small amount.

In my camera bag

Now I carry two cameras, 85 mm prime lens, 70-200 zoom lens and a 24-120 mm lens+ filters.

Feedback

My advice, continually practice and know your camera and what it is capable of.
