Description I went out very early this morning, around 3:30am with a particular shot in mind at the summit of Mount Buller (a popular ski resort here in Australia during the winter). Unfortunately for me upon reaching the summit, the weather was terrible. Strong wind, heavy rain and low visibility procluded the shot I wanted so I instead opted to go back to the base of the mountain for some riverside waterscapes.

This shot is taken in a park at Mirimbah, which is located at the base of Mount Buller. The beautiful rainforest setting was well complimented by the rain and flowing river and I enjoyed composing this long exposure.

I think the only real issue with this panoramic shot is the movement of the bush which gives it a blurred appearance. Although completely natural, it is slightly distracting but something I am willing to live with.

Great shot! My only question is what is some of the water being diverted for?

Thank you. I think it is diverted to a pump house and a small reservoir for irrigation. Not entirely sure though.

Great shot - I like the effect of a long exposure of running water! I hope your socks weren't red courtesy of the leeches.
