Cool River in PNG
This is one of my favourite excursions in PNG. There is a torrent of freezing cold fresh water raging out of the mountain side being fed by the 6m rainfall in the area. The cool water is so refreshing and as it meets the 29 degrees salt water a nice little peak is formed for some good body surfing.
The people come down from the highlands and travel for 2 days to meet us.
Once again very humbling.

Hi Luke,
Thanks for the comments mate: I used an ND filter to get a shutter speed of about 1.6 seconds from memory Luke. Canon 1Ds MK3 with a 50mm prime at F8 on a Gitzso tripod with a Manfrotto head and about an 8 shot pano stitch with PT Gui.

Mark

Hi Mark,
This is just such a sweet image. I love the white rocks contrasted against those beautiful blues. I could just imagine putting a deckchair in the water and relaxing.
Jamie
Yes Jamie but reality was that inbetween shooting this shot and a few others I was saving a couple of the ladies from a rip!
They were ok but the wTer flow out of this river was quite strong and they just couldn’t get across it…so off to the rescue I went!
Cheers,
Mark
Can’t beat those tropical spots for vivid colors and sensational landscapes … nice capture to bring back …
Check out the colour of that water! Reminds me of the waterfall on the Roaring Burn on the Milford Track, NZL. The water was so clear that we jump in for a swim, even though it was fed by ice melt and only a few degrees!
Hey Tom

Cheers,
Mark
