Waterfall Adventure, a photo from Cebu, Central Visayas

Photographer's Note

In my previous posting titled 'Waterfall Experience', I showed people getting drenched under the waterfall. This scene shows how to get to the waterfall ... you have to go underneath the big rock first.

The colour of the water is awesome. I really like the setting and the colours of the image. The people under the cave give a nice idea of the size of this place and the precarious situation to get to the fall. Well composed and very interesting picture Renier :-)

Hi Renier,
Nice POV to show us how toget to the falls with turquoise water and real adventurous looking guys! It seems quite a low rock to sneak under!
I like the rich texture of th rock!
Nice capture

How do they go underneath of that rock? It is hard work to go to the waterfall. But it must worthy. Is the blue water fresh or salt water? I like the colour. It is really very beautiful We do not see water that blue everyday. Well done.

Hey Renier,
You are killing me here with these pictures. It's very hot and I'm constantly perspiring. Wonderful spot to be for me. Excellent composition with off-center people, and lovely color. Cheers,

Bonjour Renier,
la couleur de l'eau m'imprésionne, nous n'avons pas cette couleur sur nos rives, belle composition plein de vie avec ces gens qui s'amusent sous les rochers, ;)
Amicalement

Hi Renier,
This looks like a lot of fun. I remember we got behind the waterfall in my home state years ago. The color of the water is so nice. I like the water vapors in the cave. Nice composition. Regards. Latiff.

Hi Renier!

Great continuation from your previous post. Great composition and beautiful colours. I think that a slight increase of contrast, would make it even better. Besides that, a great job!

feather (51130) 2007-07-31 8:59

This looks so dangerous. Did you have a waterproof camera to get through to take the photos?
Very good action shot; the guy in orange looks as if he is pulling up the rock with a pully :)The colour of the water is amazing.

Very good catch, quite funny! Incredible what men do to have fun. Great colours, great moment!

igoneves (71) 2007-07-31 14:14

Hi Renier,
Must be an hard task to go underneath those rocks! But maybe the experience of the waterfall is the prize! The blue of that water is amazing looks like a pool with blue tiles!

Hi Renier. This looks like a bit of a squeese at higher tide? Very good action photo with interesting notes attached. Great water colours. Murray.

Spectacular colors to the water that contrast wonderfully with the steel grey rock. I love the shadows and felling of effort that this image conveys.

Hi Renier,
I think without your explanations this would be a mystery for ever. What are they doing? The textures of the rocks are wonderful captured and the water is a dream.
Lieben Gruss, Ulf

atus (15878) 2007-08-04 8:55

Hi Renier,
great second shot of the series! Very well captured with perfect timing and full of dynamism and action. The colours are fantastic and I like the presence of the yellow, dead leaf, which is a little, but for me attractive adding. Well done!
Tfs and have a great Sunday!
Attila

danos (110407) 2007-08-04 14:13

Hello Renier,
nice the view of these people that try to go under the waterfall in order to drenched.Their effort is praiseworthy to go underneath the big rock first, in this turquoise water, but at the same time dangerous for their life.Well done.

Regards,Danos

Angshu (56760) 2007-08-06 4:35

Hello Renier
An interesting view of how to reach the waterfalls! The turquoise water is amazing & so is the guy in orange pulling at the harness. A nice touch are the autumn leaves which lend a speck of nice colours to the rocks. Well done!
Regards
Angshu

zeca (19762) 2007-08-07 10:17

Thanks for sharing this nice adventure, Renier! It is something that I wouldn´t miss when visiting Philippines! The colour of this water is great, like a swimmingpool!
Cheers!
Zeca

daddo (28748) 2007-08-08 4:27

Hi Renier. Turquoise, emerald, silver and specks of gold- what wonderful colours.And an animated scene filled with adventure and fun. Well done. regards. Klaudio.

Khattakphoto (686) 2007-08-08 4:35

It's the most adventurous picture I've seen on TrekEarth. The guys seem to be more interested in looking what's underneath the big rock than bathing under the waterfall..

Hanif Khattak

bakes888 (18499) 2007-08-09 1:27

Hi Renier. This looks like a lot of fun, when it’s a bit warmer than it is now! Great photo. The water is positively luminous! Well composed and thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

riclopes (35577) 2007-08-15 2:02

Olá Renier, love the adventure mood on this one. Being there I would feel the same those adults must be feeling: like kids exploring a fascinating hidden world. Excellent composition and attractive water color. Good timing as well, with the guy hanged on the rope. Great shot.
Cheers,
Ricardo
