Convergence

This was the second time at this stunning location for me, but the first time coming up high to this spot to shoot from above the falls, and I'm so glad I scrambled up to this spot as it has so much beauty to give and in a very different way entirely.

The 2 falls you can see are coming down from different mountains, the main falls coming from the snow covered glacial peaks to the rear, and the one on the left can be seen just trailing away left towards another top. There's actually a third fall here but it can't be seen here as I've gone portrait for this composition to create more depth looking directly up to the snow covered peaks at the rear.

I do normally geotag my images, I know a few of you will know the location of this spot anyway, but some won't, we were asked by a local to please not share this place online as they don't want it to get busy and destroyed, I'll happily respect that. Infact since we came last boulders have been placed on the track a lot further than we got in the 4x4 on the previous visit to stop cars ruining the area so we had to walk quite a bit more, which, let's face it in this place is hardly a chore!, and not much to ask to keep somewhere relatively untouched.

Despite seeing a lot of snow on this trip this location was pretty much snow free apart from up high which I think works well as you get the 2 contrasting scenes in one image.

From memory I'd say this was a polariser (as not much clear sky to ruin) and 3 stop 100mm NiSi ND.

Lots more images on my personal website here - regularly updated
