This is my entry into the #photochaincommunity comp run by @runicar. I am a big fan of the concept behind Photochain and the potential for block-chain based stock photography and I hope they succeed.
The shot is of the Natural Bridge under strong moonlight. This was taken just before dawn to minimize the differences in light level (dynamic range) inside and outside the cave. The colour dichotomy is a result of the green rainforest reflections contrasting with the subtle blue from preferential scattering of short-wavelength light as it hits the the waterfall mist in the moonlight.
It is a naturally formed rock arch over Cave Creek, a tributary of the Nerang River. It was formed from a waterfall which undercut a cave beneath the waterfall and dug a pothole on top, until the two joined and the creek flowed through the cave, leaving an arch across the front. The bridge is located in Springbrook National Park in the Gold Coast hinterland of Queensland, Australia.
It is a three shot panorama taken at 30mm using a Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II at ISO 100 and f/16 with an exposure time of 20s. All shots on this post were taken with a Canon EOS 6D.
