\nA Real Adventure<\/h5>\n

This week I went on a tramp to a beautiful waterfall. \u00a0It is largely untouched by crazy Instagramers so I am not revealing the name here to leave it a sanctuary for local people. \u00a0It takes a long time to drive there and four farm gates later you are at a remote carpark with a horrible old long drop.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"The walk<\/h5>\n

The tramp is about 1.5 to 3 hours long depending how slow you walk. \u00a0We took a long time going to our destination as photos were taken all along the way. \u00a0However the trip back was only about an hour – there was no mucking around.<\/p>\n

The Tramping Party<\/h5>\n

On the walk were two dog photographers – my good friend Craig from Furtography<\/a> and his visitor – world renowned pet photographer Alicja Zmyslowska<\/a>\u00a0. \u00a0They had two dog models, Cass – a beautiful two year old black dog, and Dusty – an older girl doggy in brown tones. \u00a0Their owner Mady was controlling the dogs during the photoshoots. \u00a0My two children Arielle and Louis also came along but I dropped my daughter Maia at her grandparents as she didn’t want to walk.<\/p>\n

Lots of Ferns<\/h5>\n

Alicja loves monotone backgrounds. \u00a0She took photos using the beautiful ferns in the forest as well as the black fungus that grows on the black beech trees up in the forest. \u00a0I can’t WAIT to see the photos. \u00a0We had a lot of stops, but the light was amazing and it was time to get those photos before the light changed.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Waterfall<\/h5>\n

This is the most amazing location. \u00a0It was well worth the short tramp to get there. \u00a0We were incredibly lucky as it was a cloudy day and I think with sun, we would have been struggling to get the correct lighting in front of the waterfall. \u00a0We are pretty sure that the sun would have sparkled on the water and rocks, making our portrait subjects too harshly lit. \u00a0The clouds filtered the light beautifully.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many Tiers<\/h5>\n

The waterfall has five layers. \u00a0I could only see three really and it went right up high into the hill. \u00a0The bottom layer was the best for the lighting but I also got my daughter in the pool on the second layer up. \u00a0it was like a beautiful mermaid pool and my daughter’s name Arielle, suited the setting. \u00a0I took about 23 photos to make a blended photo which showed the whole setting. \u00a0It works much better than a wide angle shot which can be quite distorted.<\/p>\n

\"waterfall<\/p>\n

The dog photographers<\/h5>\n

Craig and Alicja took many photos of the two dogs, plus Ralph, Craig’s Affenpinscher dog. \u00a0Ralph had gotten quite wet and his leg hairs had stuck to his legs, making the legs look like little sticks. \u00a0He looked very fragile and soaked to the bone. \u00a0It was quite funny to see him.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lunchtime at 9am.<\/h5>\n

My children ate egg sandwiches and then Cass came and ate one or two bits. \u00a0One bit he snatched straight out of my hand before I could get it to my mouth. We realised afterwards that we ate lunch at about 9am or thereabouts. \u00a0Very funny but we were all so hungry.<\/p>\n

The bottom pool<\/h5>\n

I put Arielle on a rock near the bottom pool and she was wearing this huge organza skirt. \u00a0We got it dirty on the bank after the first few photos, so I swished it in the water to clean it and realised how amazing this tough fabric is. \u00a0It washed out nicely and still kept it’s look while wet. \u00a0I absolutely LOVE the final products. \u00a0These two photos show a couple of different ideas I explored. \u00a0I had to work hard and fast in order to give the dog photographers more time. \u00a0They were on a paid shoot so wanted to get the perfect photo for their client. \u00a0I was just playing around.<\/p>\n

Double Exposures<\/h5>\n

Just for fun I did a few double exposures of people and animals overlaid with the waterfall. \u00a0Such fun!<\/p>\n

<\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

<\/h5>\n
\"\"<\/h5>\n
The walk out<\/h5>\n

This was the worst part as we had to climb up a significant hill. \u00a0However with all the mountain biking and crazy exercise I had been doing over the past couple of weeks, I managed it fine and was proud of myself. \u00a0The dogs and kids were the fittest ones there. \u00a0So funny!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

More of these shoots.<\/h5>\n

I’m keen to take clients up here, so if anyone is interested, please contact me. \u00a0It’s a once in a lifetime experience. \u00a0What other photographer will walk all the way in to an amazing waterfall? \u00a0Not many. \u00a0I will!<\/p>\n

If you would like one of these shoots please let me know!<\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
