Email us – media@newsofthearea.com.au This tranquil scene was taken at Halls Falls after a walk through the beautiful forest near Pyengana, east of St Helens, in the north east of Tasmania. Halls Falls lies on the Groom River and drops from a hand-made nineteenth century weir, located upstream from the waterfall. The weir remains from a time when Chinese miners worked the region’s rich mineral veins for tin. During the 1880s tin was widely used for household utensils, including pots, pans, candleholders, oil lamps and lanterns. Richard took the photo using a Canon 6D MkII, tripod mounted. Settings: 6 seconds, f/8 ISO 320 with a 24mm lens. For information about the Myall U3A Photography Group please email the Group Convenor Paul at mulvaney@bigpond.com.
