It’s been tipping it down here all weekend and I decided to go and have a look at the small waterfall at Auchinellan, just down the road. Saw a dipper while I was there as well.

Falls on the Burntollet River
In Ness Wood country park in Northern Ireland.
Auchinellan waterfall V
Paul Braterman, who writes the very excellent Eat Your Brains Out blog, prefers shorter-exposure photos of waterfalls, so this one’s for him. 1/125 second exposure, but still some motion blur visible.
Auchinellan waterfall IV
Another view of the pretty little waterfall close to Auchinellan House, taken in the early dawn light of last Saturday.
Auchinellan waterfall III
To avoid the contrasty light which affected my last shoot at the waterfall, I went out at dawn on Saturday. I had hoped to get low sunlight coming through the trees onto the waterfall, but it was cloudy and I got even, flat light instead. This time I did a little more gardening to clean up the cascade and the plunge pool.
Auchinellan waterfall II
Another view of the small waterfall close to Auchinellan House, this time with a dark and mossy feel.
Auchinellan waterfall
This small waterfall is on the burn that runs past Auchinellan House on its way to Loch Ederline. I’ve spied this shot out on a few occasions, but there was enough water going over on Sunday to let me get this 1-second exposure. I did some gardening to remove debris from in front of the waterfall to clean the shot, but some escaped me. I didn’t crop it out, because I would have lost too much of the water landing in the pool. Memo for next time!
Falls of Orchy
The last three posts were of eddies in the River Orchy below the Falls of Orchy. The photos were taken in May 2012. This is the view upstream from the bridge below the falls.
