Clampitt Falls: Small But Mighty.                                                                                                                                                                                                                         

Clampitt Falls has two seasons of photography: early spring and summer abundance. With summer comes the absence of lush green foliage, where limited light creates depth in your photography. In early spring, the foliage releases its hold, and Calmpitt Falls has a new perspective to capture.

No matter the season, capturing the power of Clampitt Falls’s cascading waters is a joy. Whether in its rawest form or softened by focus and a slower shutter speed, you can create a dramatic shot.

Bruce Pond: Reflective Serenity.                                                                                                                                                                                                                  This idyllic setting offers endless possibilities for capturing mesmerizing reflections. In the summer, a canopy of trees shelters your lens from its glaring light, allowing you to snap that ethereal shot. In autumn and early spring, the lens can capture the raw beauty of nature and the hidden gem of Lady Exmouth Falls on the horizon.

Lower lakes: Here, the gentle trickle of water meets the simplicity of nature.

Whether you’re drawn to the soft ripple of tumbling streams or the tranquillity of dappled light cast on the reflective surface of lakes, your perfect photo opportunity is awaiting you at the lower lakes. If your passion is wildlife, you’re in for a treat. The lower lakes are teeming with life, especially in the spring and early summer. Keep an eye out for nesting spots, dragonflies, birds, squirrels, ducks, and fish. And if you’re lucky enough to capture the elusive kingfisher, we’d love for you to share your shot with us.

Victorian Fern Garden: Another Realm.

Lose yourself amidst towering ferns and ancient trees, each step revealing a new perspective waiting to be framed. With dappled sunlight filtering through the lush canopy above, this secluded garden is a haven for capturing ethereal shots that transport you to another realm. Swap to a macro lens and take a close-up of delicate ferns opening up in springtime or in their full summer glory. In autumn, let your lens enhance the magic of the forest floor for fungi and lichen galore.

Lady Exmouth Falls: A photographer’s dream.

Last but certainly not least, capture the awe of the majestic cascades of water, tumbling down 70 feet. With a rugged beauty and dramatic backdrop, Lady Exmouth Falls is a photographer’s dream.
