I love the simplicity, just air and water: powerful, elemental... a little bit mysterious...

Thank you for your very interesting comment Doylem. Interesting because I believe that "powerful, elemental... a little bit mysterious..." are the primary reasons that people visit the falls from around the world and those that live closer, return year after year.

I'm looking forward to returning in February when our temperatures are at their lowest and the perpetual mist creates an icy wonderland in the area surrounding the falls.

Cheers

Niagara - Over the Edge by Cheese&Apple, on Flickr

f/8 at 44 mm, 1/800 and ISO 200

A different view of the falls. Beyond this edge it's a drop of 52 metres (170 ft.) to the boiling river below.

Great view. Thought it was a foggy mountain ridge.

An admirable capture of the waterfall, fast shutter speed gives a perfect silkiness in the waterfall.

[Bound in Light]

Slightly confused by your settings on this one. Why ISO 3200 when you could have easily stopped down to f/4 and still had hyperfocal distance at 15 odd feet!

I honestly wasn't even paying attention to my settings. I was just getting into photography at the time and was just playing around with bulb mode - it didn't even cross my mind at that point. Next time I will definitely keep that in mind.

Here is one of the fall colors in Rockies I took last month.

Beautiful...like an amber river flowing through the valley. Well done Bound in Light.

So I was having dinner with some of my friends recently and we had to pay the exceptional price of 600 ... Danish Kroner That's just about 100$, nevertheless I had to take a photo of it

I haven't posted in quite a while. Here is a shot of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris.

Not only one of my favourite authors but an outstanding shot as well...VERY COOL sonor! A portrait of graceful age and wisdom.

Thanks Cheese&Apple. Yes - we spent an interesting half-hour chatting about "Winter Of The World"...and music. When he's not writing hefty million-selling novels, he plays bass in a blues band.

Here's another fairly successful author...

Something different for me. I don't really have a thing for cars or bikes but this one kept drawing my eye to various bits of it for its gorgeous lines, reflections and classic design.

Nice, but have you tried a tighter crop? If you lose the headlight it gets more abstract. And more interesting in my opinion.

I played with that, but it was the overall effect of the strong diagonals that really did it for me! I'll have another go at it tonight and see if I can tickle your fancy though...

Doylem, you are slowly illustrating Arthur Ransome's books for me. It is a credit to you both that your images match the pictures in my imagination

Serene photography. Thank you.

Haven't posted in a while as I've been busy getting new body of work as well as finishing my website.




Shot at the Gold Creek Basin in Snoqualmie Pass

3 exposures blended together using multiple exposure blending techniques, luminosity selections and other advanced masking to extend the dynamic range. I created a photoshop tutorial video to demonstrate the process

Train trip from NYC to Providence. Was playing with long exposures (which I've done before on a similar trip in the past). Liked this image. Somewhat surreal. Not one of my best images overall. But still liked it enough to post.

I just spent a couple of intense months without any time to get out for some photography. But now autumn color is peaking here, leaving me with only one reasonable course of action: play hooky!

Here's one I shot just yesterday…
