Looking into the Whirlpool…
by Rodney Campbell on Jan.21, 2016, under Life, Photography
Inbetween the very narrow chasm which is Spiders Walk and Kermits Pool is this short section of gorge with lovely water flow, small pools and very nice light. One thing I’d noticed on my walk in was this small waterfall with a small pool at the bottom where a tiny whirlpool of water wash formed as the water flowed into the pool.
It was too good a spot to give up so as soon as I’d shot the obligatory cliche shot of Kermits Pool I came back here to see what I could craft.
In this first shot I’m almost at Kermits Pool, just turned around looking up towards the end of Spiders Walk in the distance. You can see I’ve shot this at quite a wide focal length of 20mm so this section of the gorge is quite short.

Moving a little closer to that swirling pool of water.

Finally up close I can make a feature of that lovely swirling vortex of water that so attracted me in the first place.
