Intrepid traveller in the wild Photo

Photographer’s Note

Before leaving East Java with my images I would like to retrace my paths to the beginning of my last trip with another image of Madakaripura waterfalls, a place that I've enjoyed a lot.

___________________
On the way to Bromo volcano, not far from Probolinggo, you can take a detour to visit the really scenic Madakaripura waterfalls.

These waterfalls of 200 metres high lies hidden in the forest at the bottom of the Tengger range.
To reach the place is necessary a twenty minutes walk and, in the final part, to rent an umbrella to pass under minor falls without showering. The path can be slippery and wear appropriate water sandals can be wise, but really the view of five waterfalls and the wild scenery are absolutely rewarding!

Hello luca,
I am charmed with the utilization of the light in the photo, on the rocks and the green one.
A perfect setting of the photographer on the corner of the same one, a really refreshing photography
Very good!!

Hello Luca,

The POV is very good : the waterfall seems so high. It wasa good idea to include the photographer on the foreground.

Hi Luca
These falls are so lovely the way they are like a veil. The photographer is in a dynamic position and is well placed in the frame.

Luca,
good perspective via using wide angel, also great idea to use "contrast"man to green, really show the dimension of waterfall, tfs.

Great shot; the man there is a nice coloured detail in the wanderful scene.
The longer exposure makes the water flow.
Good shot.
greetings

Hye Luca...Well handled light and the control of exposure has contributed towards the depth and the sharpness of image..colours are what makes nature shots stand out and youve done it well my friend..

f22-1/50...perfect...

Good sense of scale..and the tourist gives an edge to the compos which would look flat..

Neat and i like it that way :) Have a good WE

Cheers

Hi Luca

The composition is very well done, with the backpacker isolated at the corner and, above all, the waterfall, which is of course the main subject here. I love the way you have captured it, with the droplets suspended in the air like a fairy veil, and the kind of mimicry of the vegetation on its side, with the light on the leaves... The scenery is very charming but I realise that you seems to be the only one to know this place : your pictures are the first entry of the name Madakaripura on TE! Congratulations.
Regards
Marine
