Wild Waterfall in Karpacz in Winter

Wild Waterfall (Dziki Wodospad) in Karpacz is one of the picturesque spots in the Karkonosze Mountains. It is especially captivating in winter, when water, ice and snow create striking photographic compositions.

I took these photographs on an overcast winter morning. I made myself get up earlier than usual that day, and it was worth it – I had the place entirely to myself. Much of the waterfall on the Łomnica River was frozen, forming beautiful icicles and frozen cascades.

I used a Canon EOS 6D, a tripod and long exposures. The recorded EXIF settings include ISO 100, apertures from f/16 to f/22 and exposure times ranging from 3.2 to 81 seconds. Long exposures allowed me to capture the movement of the water beside the still shapes of the ice.

This gallery presents my photographs of Wild Waterfall in Karpacz together with the settings used to take them. You can find the EXIF data under the “More Info” button next to each photograph. This is my personal photographic view of the winter landscape of the Karkonosze Mountains.
