We went to the Intag again, and yes, of course I have a bazillion pictures. And beautiful ones! Nature there is just way too incredible. So, in this post, you get two things - first nice pics. Then an experiment I did with shutterspeed, trying to capture the flow of water in an instant.

A tree fell over the river and built a natural dam that retained the water to quite the height, turning into a natural waterfall on one side, and a beautiful swirl on the other side.

Bathing in that cold water was refreshing and invigorating as always in the Intag. The water was quite shallow, and not as strong as the main river, so I decided to take my camera with me to make the better shots like the one above.

But also the sides give enough material for good pictures. I'm probably going to make another worldmappin post about this part of the valley.

My friend has an organic garden there, and the bees love it. This picture was quite nice as it seems like the bee has googly eyes.

Nature is powerful there. If you just leave something for a month or two, you'll have plants growing on top. After a year, you won't find it anymore.

Not only the abundance, but also the size is impressive.

Big and small...

The shutter speed experiment

This is how the waterfall looks like with the automatic settings. I upped the shutter speed to 1/2000 with a high ISO, so it wouldn't be too dark:

Already better. The highest I used was 1/3000:

I hope the quality is good enough in the upload to be able to see the single drops, without much blurry tails.

Second experiment

This time from way closer. I think they turned out quite well:

The focus was a little hard to maintain in the pro mode, although it should be where I put it, it always seemed to shift away again, probably because the water was moving quickly so it was hard for the software in the phone to find a fix point.

Enough experiment pictures. By the way, the waterfall was called "El Placer", aka "The Pleasure". But Ellie wasn't in the mood to take suggestive pictures to mock it. What a waste of a bad joke! Maybe next time...

Okay, one last picture. After all the turbulant water pics, here's a very calm one that I love exactly because of that tranquility it transmits:

As always, any feedback and especially tips and tricks are very welcome! As long as it's not AI generated content or comment spamming... 😅

Thank you for stopping by!
