Water Power

Description

1/80s @ f/22, ISO 500, Nikkor 70-200 @ 200mm. (MT-Action)
A close-up of one of many waterfalls of Milford Sound, NZ, an incredible and overpowering place. Milford Sound is one of the wettest places on the planet. In torrential rain, the sheer rock faces transform into hundreds of waterfalls. We cruised Milford on a clear day after rain.
Some falls tumble as much as 520 ft before exploding into the sea. You can see luxuriant rain forest clinging to the sheer precipices. We cruised so close to some waterfalls that water soaked the foredeck. A spectacular and magical place.

Exif: F Number: 22, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/80 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 500, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 200.00 mm, Model: NIKON D700

Waterfalls are truly spectacular and just the type of subjects I love so much to take pictures of. This one appears to be a great one with so much volume of water. The title so aptly describes the potential force of one of nature's wonder. You've captured not only the power here but the beauty as well. #9113864

Thank you all very much, friends! We did cruises on both Doubtful and Milford Sound so I have hundreds of waterfall images from the fiords - they were all so incredible. #9115289
