Under Piscia di Galu Waterfall
by Lukasz Warzecha
This waterfall is 60m high. It was a very dangerous adventure to capture this shot. With boulders around the bottom pool very slippery together with really strong spray from the waterfall it was impossible to avoid the plunge in the very cold water. I set the camera, gave instructions to my girlfriend (she was used as a cable release operator), I put her red trousers on (I thought that my grey trousers wouldn't look good), scrambled down to the bottom of the waterfall and got my bum wet twice (on the way there and back)! But I think it was worth the effort!
Equipment: Canon 5D, 70-200 L IS 2.8 and Gorillapod

What a great story and nice touch getting your outfit wet so that the colour red and blue would be bold
Love the rocks, water fall, lines and texture.
You thought of a photograph and you turned it into a moment!

Excellent shot! Great contrast.

very good thnking to put on the red trousers. It really becomes the visual anchor in an otherwise mono chromatic shot.
The trident shape of the fall is very eye catching.
A very refreshing image on earthshots after a long time.

this is a wonderful image. the scale of the watrefall must have been even more dramatic on location.

It was worth every inch you made. the long shutter speed the colors chosen the position and the amount of image sharpness is just great.

Putting yourself in the frame adds a nice sense of scale to measure the waterfall by. A well taken shot by your girlfriend (even if all she had to do was press the shutter).
