About the photograph - Torc waterfall

 

 

Following some heavy rainfall in the area I thought it might be a good time to visit the famous Torc waterfall. I wanted to capture the flow of the water so I waited until the evening time when the natural light would be less bright and I could have a longer exposure time to get the effect of the milky water. Also there would be far less people around so I'd be able to get an unobstructed shot. After a number of shots from different spots and angles around the waterfall, I liked how this one turned out.

 

Torc waterfall, which lies at the base of Torc Mountain, in the Killarney National Park is 20 metres high, with a 110 metres long cascade waterfall formed by the Owengarriff River as it drains from the Devil's Punchbowl corrie lake at Mangerton Mountain.
