The taking of this chapter’s “A” and “B” images saw my feet move hardly at all, between shots.

(in this series, each numbered chapter has an “A”/ “landscape” post and a “B”/“much closer” post)

For this post’s “much closer” image a much longer (more than 8X longer) focal length did the walking, metaphorically – my telephoto lens greatly narrowed the field of view, and brought the waterfall’s “centre” very much “closer”.

Present in all four featured images from “2A” through “3B” in this series: the most forceful/active of Epupa Falls’ many waterfalls.

In “2A” it accounted for a minute portion of a very big landscape.

This post’s image was taken from directly in front of that fall – within its spray zone.

The vantage point was much the same as in the “2A” image, which I’d shot nine minutes earlier.

At 6.20 pm I deployed a 400 mm lens, yielding a very much closer view of the liveliest part of Epupa Falls.

Our vantage point was in northernmost Namibia, as was the southern side of the Kunene River.

The other, northern side – on the photo’s left side is in Angola, where the river is called Cunene.

We were spending day’s end on a hilltop, overlooking Epupa Falls; a few hours earlier we had walked along/among parts of the falls’ Namibian side.
