Creation

Niagara Falls, Ontario, CANADA

 

My first of two morning at the falls. The natural light shows I witnessed here certainly were

far more impressive than the artificial lights at night.

 

Canon 5D, 16-35mm 2.8L, Gitzo tripod, polarizing filter, 2 stop hard ND, ISO 100, f22,

shutter 0.8 seconds.

Spectacular light!And a very original view of Niagra Falls.Excellent photo!

The best I've ever seen. Cool!! 10/10

I love everything about this. The subtle colors, the shutter speed for the water action details, and the the sunbeams put it over the top. Excellent image.

7/6 - spectacular view. I have one that I took in the afternoon which I like very much but not as good as yours.

Superb!!! 7/7

Very nice photo.

THIS IS a great great shot, reminds me a lot of Darwin's Widgett shot

Yes, this is very good! Beautiful light and good comp.

Amazing light. Agree with Spencer, one of the best Niagara Fall pic. It's heavenly beautiful.

Welcome back. Haven't seen you in a while it seems. Ya know whats cool about this. The rays of the sunlight mirror the flowing water of the falls in opposite directions. Beautiful soft light and this is a unique version indeed.

Wow Kah. You have really out done yourself with this one. If I didn't know your work better, I would have guess this was a composite. Really magical moment. I like the square crop, but can't help to be curious what a wider crop looks like. Hard to believe you shot this with the 16-35mm. I would have guessed this was shot with a longer focal length.

Very very well done Kah.

Really a Magic moment, Composition and light patterns are very interesting.In my monitor the sky needs to be burned a little.Great shot as always.

Una maravilla de luz, color y especial encuadre, eres el mejor, Saludos Kah.

I cannot say anything other than, "Bravo!" A 7/7 anonymously (wish it could be more!). Cheers! Chris

Magic hour,indeed. Excellent capture,Kah. Caption is apt. An image for meditation.Nature in all it's glory and grandeur.Heartiest congratulations.

Mind blowing image - well done 7/7

Great capture.

Great light!

Nice one Kah, a special moment and I like the squarer format. Small spot upper right, maybe dust?

As close to perfect as you can get. Beautiful and absolutely stunning. Bravo

Perhaps one of the most photographed places in the world , I lived there for a few years , and you did get better light than most mornings will give at this location , its tough to find original views as this one is not , but the light is excellent. The last time I was there I saw a complete rainbow /half circle , sometimes you get doubles , they are not always visable at all locations . The water even changes color usally in winter and spring when the snow melts , even goes brown sometimes. A photographers paradise ! But it can be very drab some days when the weather is gray ,etc. This is a very nice shot! Robert

Beautiful work, it's all been said above, but it's worth repeating. You've made it mystical in a different way, fantastic job.

Thanks for all your comments. Robert you are correct, this is not an original view, in fact I doubt there are any left (without going over the falls!). Great lighting of course is the answer to breathing new life into icons like this. I also hoped the squarish format provides a fresh look. I was blessed with great light on all three shoots here, all giving a different feel. Will, as you correctly assessed, this is not a composite. It was shot at 16mm with the right cropped as I didn't like the mist dominating the picture.
