Whangarei Falls is one of New Zealand's largest waterfalls and is just a short 5 minute drive outside of Whangarei city. The falls attract a huge amount of tourists every year and are a big part of the Whangarei landscape with locals visiting for picnics, barbeques, exercising, and just enjoying the stunning sight of 26 metres of water falling over a curtain waterfall.

The Whangarei falls are made up of three main cascades which breathtakingly fall into the pool at the bottom and can be viewed from the walking path and picnic area situated close by.

Photography info: Both of these images were taken during the day along the pathway provided to the falls. The first shot was taken on the right hand side of the track before you cross over the bridge to the other side. The second shot was taken from the picnic area in front of the falls.

I used a 6 stop filter to slow the water down and create that smooth effect on the water on my wide angle lens.
