Empress Falls - Sydney's Blue Mountains Delivers Again!

Empress Falls in one word - Wow! I had never been before and this one blew me away. It has to be one of the most photogenic waterfalls I've seen in the Blue Mountains.

Wow fall-ography. Beautiful set of shots. Loved the drone tour in the middle. Bonus was a beauty. Thanks for sharing.

[@klickinthewild]

Thanks Gary 🙏 🙏. We'll definitely go back here - but I'd advise to spend a couple of weeks on the stair master first, ha ha 😃. Hope you are well and thanks again for watching 👍 👍

Love your commentary and compositions, Brian! Legendary!

[@klickinthewild]

Much appreciated Chris and thanks for watching 👍👍

[@mvimagesau]

Always awesome to watch your creativity and adventures … finally watched it … 😍 love those last 10 seconds

[@klickinthewild]

Thanks Manu 🙏 .....that drone footage though ❤

[@forced_perspective]

Wow very cool stuff.. drone gives such a different perspective. Looks like a photographer's heaven there.

[@klickinthewild]

Many thanks James 🙏 Yes there are so many great photography locations up in the Blue Mountains there and they're all within a couple of hours reach of Sydney. All the best and thanks for watching 👍

[@johnbentley1056]

awesome shits Brian as usual. Loved the drone footage. Definitely got some views that you couldn't otherwise get.

[@klickinthewild]

Many thanks John - it's much appreciated 🙏🙏 Yes, big shout out to Manu Verma for being brave enough to send the drone up there in front of the falls. All the best 👍

[@kashifimran201]

Wow 🤩 beautiful place and nice clicks 👍

[@klickinthewild]

Many thanks Kashif 🙏. I recommend a visit when you're up that way next time 👍. Thanks for watching 👍

Discovered your channel a day or 2 ago, so bingeing on them! Great videos. Hiked to those 2 falls a year ago so I know you have done a fantastic capture of them. And yes, there were 3000000 or so steps back up!

[@klickinthewild]

Ha ha - yes, those steps back up the hill 😱 It's all worth it though eh Leslie 😉 Glad you're having fun watching the videos - more coming soon! All the best 👍👍

[@whiskeyturner]

Great Video Brian my favourite was the square format at the end. loving the channel mate, I’ve been going through from the beginning, I watch the same KZbin guys as you do but it’s refreshing to see awesome locations in my own backyard! Iceland can wait lol

[@klickinthewild]

Many thanks Steve 🙏 Yes that square format shot was an unexpected bonus for me as I didn't even know there was another shot there. Iceland is still on my hit list too (along with several others, ha ha!) 😉 Thanks for watching 👍

[@RYANPARKPHOTOGRAPHY]

Nice Brian! I couldn't go blue mountains last week but express falls is one of my favourite waterfalls in Blue mountains!

[@klickinthewild]

Thanks Ryan 🙏. This was my first time there - couldn't believe how impressive it was. Definitely worth another trip - even if the legs were feeling it for most of the week after, ha ha 😃. Thanks for watching 👍 👍

[@colinstalker]

Awesome place mate. The vlog and images look fantastic with some awesome Drone skills. The shot @11.33 was my favourite . Just walked out of there and those steps are a killer 😂 😂

[@klickinthewild]

Many thanks Colin 🙏🙏 I'm glad you were able to visit during your trip up in the mountains 👍 The disconcerting thing was that a couple of people RAN past me on their way back up the hill....! Oh to have those legs again, ha ha! All the best 👍👍

[@vladphotos]

Love watching a fellow local photography vlogger. Last time I was here I was walking back up with my 1 yr old on my back when a log same size as the one in your photos flew past our heads. If I didn't duck it would've been a catastrophe. I didn't even get any great photos for my troubles.

[@klickinthewild]

Hi Vlad thanks for tuning in. Wow - it sounds like you narrowly avoided a major disaster there. It's a great spot though - very photogenic. All the best 👍

[@grahamroberts4057]

Nice.

[@klickinthewild]

Thanks Graham 🙏🙏

[@DoyaknowwhatImean]

Beautiful shots Brian, I went A up at Sylvia falls last time I was there and of coarse I saved the camera and tripod but not so much the body 😂 glad I found your channel, really enjoying your content 👍

[@klickinthewild]

Many thanks Trevor 🙏. Ouch, that sounded painful 😞. Yes it's slippery in among those wet rocks eh - those spikes that I wear have saved my life countless times. I should be on commission from BCF with the amount of sales they get from me, ha ha 😃 All the best and thanks for watching 👍

[@zhi-qiangliu3889]

I’ve recently found your channel and subscribed to it. Thank you for sharing your beautiful waterfall photos and I appreciate very much also your shooting information. BTW, what kind of spike shoes would you recommend?

[@klickinthewild]

Many thanks for your kind words and welcome 🙏 The ones I have been using are called Mirage rockhoppers - I'm sure if you search online for them, you'll be able to locate them near you. They are made of neoprene (similar to dive-suit material) with spikes on the soles. I find them really good. All the best 👍

[@juanitakelly3082]

Gorgeous indeed! Combined with the colors of the ferns and those rocks - oh my!! Loved the speed variations and also the drone footage. Thanks for taking us there!

[@klickinthewild]

Many thanks Juanita 🙏 I recommend a visit if you find yourself out that way - it's a really pretty location. It's also great if you want to give the legs a bit of a workout! 😉 Thanks for watching 👍👍

[@amalieemmynoether992]

Stunning shots of the falls. The drone footage was pretty epic too.

[@klickinthewild]

Many thanks Amalie 🙏 There's a lot to be said for drones when used like this I think - it gives a completely different perspective. Thanks for watching 👍👍

[@RauriBarron]

Beautiful falls there mate, some stunning shots, really liked the variety of compositions and the outtakes 😂 . Blue mountains definitely has some great waterfalls. That drone shot going up the falls was awesome too, really showed the unique rock formation/water flow of the falls. Quick question for ya: do you recommend any spikes for slippery rocks, lightweight?

[@klickinthewild]

Many thanks Rauri and good to hear from you mate 🙏. Yes lots of great locations up there in the mountains 👍. Shout out to Manu for his amazing (and slightly crazy) drone flying 😃. I think the spikes I'm using at the moment are the Mirage Rockhoppers. They are made of neoprene (similar to wet suit material) so pretty lightweight. I'm sure if you search around online, you could find some good deals. All the best and thanks for watching 👍👍

[@RauriBarron]

@@klickinthewild thanks for sharing mate! No worries, this time of year is hectic for my work so struggling to catch up and make content so apologies if I’m late to the party 😂

[@fannyandersson3330]

Beautiful! Loved the photo at 12,30 and the second bonus! Also nice drone filming, it shows that drones are good at more than grand views, perfect to show hard to get to places 👍🔭

[@klickinthewild]

Many thanks Fanny 🙏🙏 Sylvia Falls further down, was an unexpected bonus for me. Yes, drones have the ability to let us see places which you otherwise couldn't get to - if you are daring enough to fly them in there, ha ha 😀 Stay safe and thanks for watching 👍

[@thruthelens7100]

Excellent work. What white balencd do you use in those darker conditions

[@klickinthewild]

Many thanks 🙏 For these shots I auto white balanced everything whilst on location and then I can adjust slightly in post if needed. I just had a look and most of the shots came in between 5400 and 6000. Thanks for watching 👍

[@peterviragphoto]

Another great adventure! You always manage to get spectacular waterfall shots! Thanks for sharing Brian:)

[@klickinthewild]

Many thanks Peter - that's much appreciated 🙏 It actually took me quite a long time to warm up to waterfalls but it really doesn't get much better when you're out in nature eh. All the best and thanks for watching 👍

[@davidmaltby2065]

Wonderful images, great video. My only comment and not in any way criticism but I prefer the images to be slightly less saturated.

[@klickinthewild]

Many thanks David 🙏 Actually I find it interesting to see how different media platforms treat your images once uploaded. The original images aren't that saturated at all but once uploaded, I noticed it too. It's something I'll keep my eye on in the future as it's most likely user-error 😉 Thanks for watching 👍

[@davidmaltby2065]

@@klickinthewild please it wasn’t a criticism just an observation. I agree that a lot of my images appear very differently on various social media formats.

[@michaellee7242]

Where to next ?

[@klickinthewild]

There's a big trip coming up very soon Michael 😉 😉

[@zonabrown9241]

Wonderful photography why cant you let the sound of the water be all that you need the music is very tiresome😢
