One of the coolest things I have experienced was being able to walk behind a massive waterfall. This is the same waterfall that I shared titled “Tamanawasafros”. It’s not really difficult to get up here, but you do need to have some good footing as the rocks can be slippery and loose. It’s also a good idea to have a rain jacket or raincover as you have to cross through the mist that these falls produce. The payoff however is worth it. It’s still pretty hard to get some scale, but I was actually leaning as far back against the rocky wall as I could crouching underneath my camera so I could get the right angle to enclose the falls between the roof of the alcove and the ground. It might look like there is lots of space to wander around here, but do not be fooled. The soil is very loose and its all on a slight incline. Not to mention that the rocks above a dripping making it hard to still keep dry. Anyways, just thought I would share this shot and the experience with you all. Hope you enjoy!

*Creative blend, stop getting upset the milky way is in the wrong spot folks lol* Mighty Mount Cook, Hooker Valley in the Mt Cook/Aoraki National Park, New Zealand. Twice i have visited this epic location and feel i have not come away with anything that does it close to justice, until now… Shot Mt. Cook after sunset in last light, then shot the milky way about 2,5 hours later and manually blended the two. This is one of the most inspiring locations I’ve ever shot – much respect!

I had this image up here recently as a color rendition considering all of my processing for my website has been in color as of late. I had temporarily halted the black and white mindset. This image, however, was originally processed in black and white and after giving it a black and white treatment this time around I can see that it indeed was its intended destiny. There are certain compositions that black and white enables details to spring to life more than the color counterpart, and I think with the directed focus I was striving for with this image, the black and white idea is certainly underscored.
