Made a trip to the Otways 2 days ago with Melv & family + aunty OL
1st, a hearty meal of hokkien mee
followed by a tiring 2 hour walk to the waterfalls
only to find that we got a sucky view from a viewing platform and could not approach the waterfall at all
it was also the same with the triplet falls
We made one last attempt at Hopetoun Falls which was a short 10 mins drive away
Fortunately this waterfall is worth a visit because we could go relatively close to it!
i tried to play with some camera modes to get the 'soft, silky effect' without the aid of any ND filters and a tripod. usually 1/5 - 1/15 of a second on shutter priority mode (with a very steady hand) is sufficient to get the desired effect.
the other side of the falls
a slack macro attempt of local flowers @ f2
we happened to stumble upon a 'plantation' of californian redwoods, one of the tallest trees in the world
it doesn't look substantial from the outside, but once you're within, its an oasis of silence and tranquility
its so peaceful, and as the sunlight filters through the canopy, you get shimmers of light reaching the forest floor.
i tried some poses with jie2
mei2 loves to pose, and gosh, what a lovely model i've got here! :p
i could spend the whole day meditating here if i really wanted to
a quiet river flows through the forest
playing hide and seek with the trees
mei2 looks so happy. its rare considering she frowns most of the time in my previous attempts to photograph her
the quality of light was just... beautiful. simply perfect! i couldn't ask for more.
my favourite shot of the day with jie2. thanks to all those who've taken time to comment
its a wonder that the trees have grown that tall since they were planted 70 years ago
now for some group shot fun, with aunty OL's glasses!
trying a toyota brochure worthy shot of Melv's mpv
we stopped at one of the beach towns for fish and chips
mei2 was pretty insistent on having a ride at the fun fair, so we had to obligemore later, TK, and happy new year!
