Erskine Falls, Lorne

This is and old pic which I decided to re-touch using my new laptop. The setting is Erskine Falls in Lorne, situated on the Great Ocean Road about a 1.5 hour drive south west of Melbourne. We got there about 30 minutes before it got completely dark and luckily enough there was nobody else there. It's a major attraction in this region so it's a little difficult to get a long exposure shot without somebody walking through you photo.

To get my angle I had to maneuver my way down some slippery rocks so I could set my tripod on some rock in the middle of the stream. The camera was pretty much perched just centimetres from the water, and all I could think of was no to drop the bloody thing.

Capture: Sigma 10-20mm f4-5.6 Wide Angle @ 10mm, f/22, ISO100, 10.0sec

• Brightened up the waterfall area, and darkened its surroundings
