Location
I took this image in the foothills of kunyani Mount Wellington in Tasmania. I love coming here, it's only minutes out of the city but a world away.Time
I took this picture in the afternoon. You don't want the sun too high for longer exposures.Lighting
The aim with this shot is to slow the water down until you get the right amount of smoothness. Too much and it goes a bit grainy. This won't work if it's too dark either. Sometimes when I do these shots I use a rear shutter flash to highlight the background.Equipment
This was shot on my Nikon D610 with a Sigma 24-70 2.8 lens on a Manfrotto tripod. I always use a simple shutter trigger to minimise movement and shoot mirror up.Inspiration
This is a series of images I have taken where I focus on very small rivulets, trying to control the composition. The area in the image is only about a metre or so long. The idea is to create the impression of a larger space. I was inspired by the green moss in particular as it adds contrast to the composition.I'm also bring to get the water to flow through the image from the very back to the front.Editing
This image was shot RAW and processed in Lightroom. The main work was to use graduated neutral filters on each side to bring the focus in to the middle.In my camera bag
I usually choose either a macro lens for mushrooms or a large lens for birds. It's never an easy choice but I can't take both. I always take a spare battery, a shutter trigger and an off camera flash system. That covers most eventualities.Feedback
You don't need to hike for ages to shoot the classic waterfalls. Just follow a water source and see what little gems you can find. When you do go walking, keep your eyes open, opportunities are everywhere. It's all about composition.
