Waterfall Wondergirl

Before I start talking bout photography, I just wanna say this: Jeslyn, you’re one cool pro!

I found this photo when I was doing my archiving from one hard drive to another. This was an old photo which I took mid last year during one leisure outing with the Nikonian fellows. It was during this outing when I first met some good local photographers like Braendan Yong.

Jeslyn, with her high boots, braved the slippery rocks and slowly walked to the middle of  the waterfall. I was sick worried about her when she stepped foot into the water. I remembered I asked her when she was walking towards the rocks “Jeslyn, you sure?”.

Calmly, she answered with a sweet smile and said “Yes, I’m fine. it’s ok.”

Talk about PRO AT WORK!

I wanted to use a slower shutter speed so that the water would appear “misty”. But it was a bright sunny day and I didn’t have my neutral density (ND) filter.

So i gotta make do  with what I had in my hand i.e. a Nikon D700 and a Nikon Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR zoom lens. I tried to avoid taking the exposure reading from Jeslyn face as she has fair skin and with the water in the background, that might not be able to give me a correct reading.

Hence I took the reading from the grass next to the waterfall, recomposed my frame and ~C~L~I~C~K~ . I got this photo.
