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.
