Went out on an exploration about 9.30am this morning and after about 40 minutes of walking mpritch and i found what can only be described as the "eighth wonder of the World". I had googled somewhere to take photos of last night and asa it happens mpritch was just around the corner, even though we had arranged to meet up (spooky)
It IS the tallest waterfall in Surrey, but that isnt really hard as i think i jumped over the second tallest on the way to that one thinking it was a sewage pipe.
We were there for about 30 mins before Tobers turned up and had a quick snap from the safety of the bottom pool.
I want to show some of these photos, not as a delight of photos, but for the sheer nerve that me and mpritch had at climbing up and down the waterfall with £1000's of equipment in our hands. Ive just got home and had to check that i havent contracted Trench-Foot.
It was also a good time to experiment with filters and the Tv setting on our cameras, and to give my new tripod a run out (now im sorry. Its filthy)
The waterall is in 4 tiers with a river running parallel to the valley then trurning ninety degrees and dropping into the waterfall below.
#1 - Here is the highest point, its about 4 feet drop :
#2 - And to give it some scale, here is mpritch poised for a snap :
#3 - The second tier taken with a wide angle lens and dropped about 6 feet.
#4 - This was the hardest to take. I climed down a very slippery slope to get here and stood about a foot from the edge of the raveen constantly wiping my camera from the spitting of the water. I noticed that due to the water and temp being so cold icicles formed on the plants which made a nice shot. This drop is about 8 feet.
#5 - Here is the waterfall in all its glory (play the game "can you spot mpritchs tripod getting into the shot?")
#6 - And for some scale here, with Tobers taking a snap with his nice new camera.
#7 - After Niagra was a large pool of water and this ran down under the ground which is shown here just before it goes underground (handheld)
#8 Just for something a bit different, here is a B+W conversion with a play in Lightroom adjusting various things that slide left and right, of the drop at the first tier.
After that me and Tobers went to the local for a spot of lunch anbd a pint. Perfect morning.
Hope you enjoy looking at them as much as i did taking them.
