Some weeks ago, at the pretty cold& wet beginning of May we were
enjoying some free days in the green area of Jura, located in
Franche-Comté, France, close to the Swiss border. The weather was not
very stable, but because of all the rain the vegetation was very luxious
and the waterfalls really full...So it was time for
waterfall-photography! On the way to the famous "Cascades du Hérisson"
we encountered the cute cows giving the milk for my absolute favourite
cheese: Comté! So the first pictures hows you the happy milk-makers
grazing the yellow dandellions.
Few kilometers afterwads we arrived at
the starting point for the walk around the seven waterfalls of Herisson,
along the river Herisson. The path streches over 7,5 km and offers
magnificent views over different small, big and bigger falls called
names like "l Èventail" (Fan-65m), "Grand Saut" (The big Jump-60m), "Saut
Girard" (The Jump of Girard-35m). Nico was really enjyoing himself and
using his new tripod. Waterfalls offer great possibility for creative
pictures with long shutter speed. In the pictures below we have used
speed from 1/4s till 0.6s.
oh, what very beautiful sights, the waterfall is spectacular, and i always love to see happy cows grazing in a field of happy flowers :)
ReplyDeleteWow, your waterfall photography is so successful. I’m not sure if I can make it like you. Each photo is well composed from the different angles and the silky touch of water is superb.

The Jura is a lovely area and your wonderful photos do it credit. The meadows, the lovely waterfalls and the flowers touched by droplets of water.
ReplyDeleteHi Jana - I love the photo of the cows grazing in the pasture of dandelions. I love capturing water drops on plants. I was out the other evening and took the most fabulous photo. I was focusing on a flower and when I got home, had captured a fly on the leaf as well - surprise for me as the fly was looking right at me. he,he I am amazed at the silky texture you have captured at the falls. These are most beautiful. I am just wondering, the photo with the crop of rocks with water on both sides I see a small animal. Is this your pet or ??? what?? Really great shot. Now I need to know what that is. Have a wonderful day. Thank you.
ReplyDeletePrachtige beelden :-)
ReplyDeleteMiss u!
'k Proef bijna je kaas, Jana, en 'k hoor bijna de watervallen... Mooi...
ReplyDeleteLie(f)s.
Hallo Jana,
ReplyDeleteWasser in Massen in letzter Zeit, aber dafür natürlich spektakuläre Naturschauspiele. Tolle Fotos von wunderschönen Wasserfällen.
Schöne und nicht allzu stressige Restwoche wünschen Euch
