We all know what happened in March 2020. The world went into lockdown. At first as a landscape photographer I was angry. Now what am I meant to do? I couldn’t drive to the spots that I frequented. I couldn’t go more than 5km from my house for exercise or recreational activity.

I spent a good few weeks pouting around home. Complaining about how I couldn’t use my camera. How there was nothing photogenic 5km’s from my house. What was soon to be made clear to me was how wrong I was. I knew of a hike close to my house that I had done previously.

I grabbed my camera and hiking bag and took off down the trail. Keeping my eye out for anything that looked remotely beautiful. I came across this scene. This small waterfall framed by rocks that ended up forming a bit of a cave-like structure. I spent a little while trying to frame up this shot, to really emphasise the waterfall. When I got home I realised that I found my own little lockdown secret.
