Torc Waterfall, Killarney National Park

Very well composed Herb.

Thanks for this Jaap.

Regards, Herb

I love the warm light on the tips of the trees and the low angle gives an impression of powerful water, which I'm sure it was. It's a beautiful place and picture Herb......Regards, Rosa.

Nice to see you again Rosa. I guess I was lucky that the light managed to get onto the high trees as well as on this section of the lower falls too. It was most impressive, which attracted an awful lot of other visitors beside ourselves here. I had to wait my turn to get to that low stone for this. We also took the many steps to the very top of the falls and beyond -hard work and not really worth the effort for us as you could hardly see the falls through the trees. Anyway -good exercise, as they say...
Cheers, Herb

Beautifully taken, Herb.

Thanks a lot George. Was a great day. ~ Herb

brilliant shot, great pov.

Great to see you again John. Always happy to when you enjoy my output here.

Keep well, Herb

What a marvelous cascade, Herb !! This reminds me my Alps mountains !!!!

Always good when one of my photos brings memories of something similar for you Marie-claire. A lovely cascade here and a nice reward for me with this photo.

Best Wishes, Herb

Looks great, this place ! Taken from a very good POV ! A beautiful natural impression !

So glad that you have enjoyed this Ulrich. P.o.v is everything with these things.

Regards, Herb

Stunning view!

Another visit, another great reflection from you. Thanks ~ Herb

Superbe capture !!

My thanks once more Ghislaine.

Regards, Herb

Well worth the wait to get that magnificent point of view. I love the way you've used the portrait orientation - it makes us focus immediately on the waterfall.

You've also captured the movement of the water very well, I like its rich peaty colour which shows best in the foreground. Beautifully done Herb.

Thanks Keith, a bit of a ramble to get here but well worth the effort once here. Portrait style was the natural way for this high waterfall, the big d.o.f created by my super wide angle 16mm here. As Toz below says, the peat mountains slopes very much in evidence in the water. Glad you like it. ~ Herb

Like it Herb but I like a longer shutter speed nice Image .
Regards TOZ.

Hi Toz, good that you have enjoyed this one. Yes, this taken at a super-fast 60th sec instead of the mandatory 10th or less. I could not get the tripod down to this rock. I did take a slower one from a higher viewpoint but I liked this viewpoint better. (I might post that elsewhere :) )
Cheers, Herb

A great capture Herb the water looks very 'peaty'

Thanks Peter -it was very peaty indeed. A long run through peat ravines from the top of the mountain to here.

Cheers, Herb

Great shot , I note a very high rate of tannin's in the area, I know this photo was not taken in OZ way tooo much water . Love the old autumn leaves in the water to a a real touch of colour.

Thanks Steve, as you say a lot of tannin due to the amount of peat in this area. A great deal of water here but there would have been far more a couple of days later as it deluged down for 24 hours the day after our visit. Always the odd leaf in the falls as so many trees overhang.

Cheers, Herb

What a marvelous waterfall Herb that you have captured brilliantly

Always good to get your thoughts and approval here Nick.

Cheers, Herb

A well composed photo with excellent DoF! This is a lovely waterfall with many interesting details such as the peaty water in the foreground.

Good that you think it is so nice. It was a great walk and sight.

Regards, Herb

de mooiste plek van ierland....ik hou van watervallen--heb je ook geprobeerd een ANDERE foto van deze falls te maken.?
Aan jouw verhaal te horen heeft iedere tourist dezelfde foto....als je de naam intoetst bij google kom je inderdaad veel dezelfde foto's tegen,,,,maar oke....ze is mooi

Ah, thanks for all this Fred. It is indeed a most beautiful spot, We climbed much higher up the steps and paths too. Here is another of this Torc waterfall.

Best Wishes, Herb

Hi Herb

Very nice picture, and better than the ones I took when I was there!!

Best Wishes, and a Good Weekend

Peter

Ah yes Peter, it would be easy to take duff pictures here too, especially in poor weather. I hoped you enjoyed the sight nevertheless and I am happy that this has brought back memories for you.

Best Wishes, Herb

Excellently done, Herb!

Thanks a lot Andy. Easy really - hardest bit is trudging up the track with camera etc.

Cheers, Herb
