Going with the flow
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 10 November 2008 in Plant & Nature.
Thought I would post a few this week from my trip back to New Zealand Earlier this year
This was during our couple of days in Rotorua I believe
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can
FLOOG from United Kingdom
You know, I attempted a very similar shot in Butchart Gardens, BC a month or two ago, but it pails by comparison with this beautiful photograph. You capture the drop and the flow of the water so perfectly.
Gorgeous. And back to the drawing board for me! Ha ha

Okay, what can I say? This is a great work, may be (only maybe) you could wait for a low light and take with longer exposure? Anyway this is a outstanding shot. Cheers.
