Golitha Falls Sun Burst
Golitha Falls is a section of the river Fowey with cascading waterfalls that cut through a National Nature Reserve near Bodmin. I visited in autumn when the sun is much lower in the sky, presenting small windows of golden hour glow. I liked this particular section of the falls because the sun was piercing through the trees catching parts of the water, and illuminating the green foliage and mossy banks.
There had been heavy rainfall the night before and the river was high and flowing quickly. The formation of the rocks in the riverbed was forcing part of the rushing water into an interesting curve. You can see that the speed of the current is so fast, that the water has blurred out of focus, accentuating the sweeping shape of the river. With very subtle shifts of movement I was able to position myself to capture a perfect sun burst on the scene.
