This one from the same folder I found the last one. But this time I know exactly where it is. It’s in a small gully known as ‘Desolation Valley’ – which I think is a great name – very OTT, apparently it relates to some event at the end of the 19th century, but don’t quote me on it. The waterfall is near a very popular Sunday afternoon beauty spot known as Bolton Abbey in North Yorkshire.
This one was taken with my bridge camera, a Panasonic Lumix, which my daughter tends to use now.

Great spot for the shot. We have a waterfall that I’d give my eye teeth to shoot from this angle but I’d have to scale a ravine to get there… getting to old for that kind of thing. Very lovely shot here.
Thank you.
The shot was taken in February a couple of years back and I remember getting wet knees for my trouble – for no other reason than I wanted to get my camera as low as possible. to get the rocks in the foreground and to lose as much as sky as possible.
A solution to your shot might be to lower your camera on a suitable rope/monopod and use a remote trigger? It might take a few shots to get it right but you’d end up with a pretty unique shot?
Amazing!
Thanks!
Really nice shot – like it
Thank you.
Another nice one 🙂 I do recognize the Lumix colors 😀 Was my very first digital, an F5…
The waterfall was from my FZ20 – super little camera. But the shutter lag wasn’t too helpful for wildlife photography, and many of the architectural shots that I took needed to be corrected for barrel distortion and horizons like the sea made it seem as if I was photographing the curvature of the earth. A normal person wouldn’t worry about it but…… 😉
Yep, right…FZ5 it was, not F… Shutter lag, distortion, that funny thing called digital zoom – it had it all. Good way to learn what NOT to chose when you buy a camera… 🙂
Absolutely. Mine does have a great zoom 36-430 mm equiv, but at f2.8 throughout.
excellent…I have been there a few times – mostly on the way to Simon’s Seat..but not often seen it with this much water
This one is a Winter time shot.
Hi Stephen,
This is so lovely. I could actually imagining myself under the waterfall because of the high temps of the past days in France.
My husband has a Coolpix bridge camera and is happy with it. Whatever makes one happy.
Have a nice day 🙂
As I said elsewhere, my daughter has the use of the bridge now, and she’s going to take to Uni with her – it’s a great camera for ‘sketch’ work (especially if you can’t draw!)
You commune with nature on a spiritual level, using your eyes to take in the landscape and lungs the fresh air.
I live. I make the most of my senses, wherever I am.
