Minnamurra Falls - shot with modern and classic lenses

[PeterB666]

Here are some photos of Minnamurra Falls. This is in Budderoo National Park about 2 hours drive South of Sydney.

This first set was taken with my Olympus 9-18mm M.Zuiko on the E-P1. I think they were all at the 18mm (36mm effective) end of the zoom and were shot with 3 or 4-stop ND filters to get long enough shutter speeds.

I was quite pleased with how the little rainbow came out on that last one.

This pair of shots were taken with my 1953 Schneider 40mm f/1.9 lens from my Robot Star IIa mounted on my Olympus E-P1. At an effective focal lenght of 80mm, somewhat on the long side but again I am quite pleased with how these came out...

In retrospect, possibly a merged panorama shot would have been ideal.

That's a great waterfall. I bet it looks awesome at sunrise or sunset
