Fantastic photos. Couldn't resist adding my own. [eimg link='http://www.flickr.com/photos/43987801@N08/4084698358/' title='Iguazu Falls, Argentina' url='http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2626/4084698358_1cd098c204.jpg'] Also, I don't think it has been mentioned yet, Iguazu has some amazing birdlife which a telephoto lens would also be very useful for. This for example, is a toucan, which wouldn't need describing if I had a longer lens!

I visited Iguazu Falls a few years ago. Although the pictures I took were nice, they are no where near the quality of the pictures shot here with the Nikon and telephoto lenses. Since I love to travel I see I’m going to have to invest in a quality telephoto lens. Cliff has done a wonderful job catching the powerful essence of the falls.

Wonderful photographs ! It is very difficult to take photographs at such a huge place, where climate changes in few minutes. I have attached a link for the photograph of Jog waterfall in Karnataka state, India. where the climate was cloudy and very heavy. Additionally, huge crowd was there which was making photography further difficult."

Well it appears I don’t know how to post an image correctly…though I wouldn’t say my image is as grand as the ones posted here…perhaps I’m better off.

Oh! How I loved the photos. I visited Brazil and the falls many years ago without a camera. Thank you for capturing one of the worlds most exciting views . They make me want to return.

Thanks great post I now quite fancy visiting the iguazu falls. A few weeks ago I visited a waterfall in Wales called Pistyll Rhaeadr, I loved the challenge of shooting it.

I just realized that my previous post didn’t display the photo of the falls.

Great pictures!
I’ve been to Iguazu 10 days ago, it’s such an amazing place!
I also took some pics, not as good as Cliff’s ones, but anyway wanted to share some of them with you (they’re un-edited yet!) in a humble and unpretentious way… just to rise your desire for visiting Iguazu!

Just to add something to what was said by mike: “just for curiosity, in Portuguese the name is ‘Iguaçu’ pronounced (iguasu), and means place with a lot of water in guaraní language” (but I think it realy means “big water”)
