Pre Monsoon View

[Bibhav Behera]

This is the twin Gaganachukki and Bharachukki Falls just before the monsoons hit. There were beautiful skies in blue before the rain bearing clouds started moving in and a small amount of water in the fall itself. I will return there post monsoons to show a pre and post view. They hardly look like the same place with the massive amount of water that passes through it. This is not an HDR image. The result was achieved through the use of GND Filters and Circular Polarisers.

Canon EOS 5D Mark III, EF 17-40 F/4L USM @ 23mm
B+W Circular Polariser + Cokin Graduated ND4 Filter
SS 1/60 sec
f/11
ISO 100

Comments and critiques welcome.

Lovely view of the waterfalls. The cloud patterns make the image more interesting. It surely is an amazing sight once the waterfalls are flowing in full capacity. Hope the monsoons are good this year :). Thanks for sharing.

Lovely scene. The clouds add a lot to the drama. The greenery below looks nice. Is that a road on the left? Were you handholding? Do you have an image without the polariser? Thanks for sharing.
Cheers,
