Thunder Creek Falls is an absolutely beautiful 28 metre horse tail fall located just off the State Highway in the Haast Pass.

The falls can be accessed easily via a well formed track where it only takes around 5 minutes to arrive at the viewing platform.

The water from Thunder Creek Falls crashes into incredibly blue coloured water from the Haast River and is surrounded by native Beech tree forest.

Photography info: This shot was taken just off the track down by the river. There are a lot of compositions to choose from with rocks in the foreground but just a note of caution as the Haast River runs fast, I kept to the shoreline only.

I used a 10 stop filter to slow the water down and create that smooth effect on the water and used my wide angle lens.
