Photographer’s Note
Hopetoun Falls are located in the Otway temperate rainforest in southern Victoria. The day was cloudy which allowed me to use a slow shutter speed to smooth the water and also prevented bright highlights.

Hello Dennis,
Wow, sensational effort here. I have seen several images of this waterfall but I think this rates amongst the best of them. Clarity and colours are just delightful; those ferns are really lush and beautiful. The 1/5 second exposure choice is one to remember when I get the chance to return to the rainforest after all this we weather to capture the Springbrook waterfalls in their full capacity! Sensational work Dennis. I will try a workshop just to see what else can be done.

Hi Dennis,
Great light management with the silky water and the translucent ferns. The framing is excellent as well with the river leading to the falls, the side view and the ferny frame. Welcome to TE,
HLJ, Pat

I'm looking to learn bracketing or slowing shutter speeds to gain this effect. I've tried in our local Botanic garden with little success.
What you have produced here is my goal. Fantastic. Any pointers I'd love to hear :-)
