The leaves are starting to fall at Golitha, and with the water levels returning to a more usual level after all of the rain last week, I decided to do a 'Karl' and kicked the boots off and jumped into the river for this shot.
I've always thought the best viewpoint may be the other side of the river, but I have never got around to buying some waders. Going barefoot never occurred before, but hey - I'm not one to miss out on the madness!

I popped into there once couple of months ago for the first time, and I felt the same.
When I was there, the water level was quite high, I couldn't really get in there to get some rocks in the foreground. So I couldn't really see any viewpoint and I wish I was on the other side.

Cole - in my opinion, these falls are only photogenic when the water levels are low.
When the river is high, not only can the rocks be covered, but the water tends to be very 'dirty' as well (full of silt), so all you see is a mess of water rushing between the trees.
Trust me, it's so much better when the water is low

Yeap, totally agree.
TBH, water level wasn't high high at that time. But whenever I saw rocks in the river, water surrounding them was high. I was wearing wellies, still I couldn't get in there.
Quote: Woah! that's an amazing pic!! I'm just learning at the moment, how did you do that effect with the water? it looks great!!
The effect is caused by a long exposure causing the moving water to blur.
This shot was about F8, 8 sec at ISO 400.
The 8 second exposure has allowed the water to become blured because it is moving during the exposure. The rocks etc do not move, and so are sharp.
Of course, the camera was on a tripod to keep it steady.
