kahkityoong 0 Posted October 11, 2007 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. Link to comment

enunez 0 Posted October 11, 2007 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. Link to comment
thadley 15 Posted October 11, 2007 7/6 - spectacular view. I have one that I took in the afternoon which I like very much but not as good as yours. Link to comment

cherlyn 1 Posted October 11, 2007 Amazing light. Agree with Spencer, one of the best Niagara Fall pic. It's heavenly beautiful. Link to comment
whydangle 0 Posted October 11, 2007 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. Link to comment
will king 0 Posted October 11, 2007 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.

mikestacey 0 Posted October 13, 2007 Nice one Kah, a special moment and I like the squarer format. Small spot upper right, maybe dust? Link to comment
ffrank 0 Posted October 14, 2007 As close to perfect as you can get. Beautiful and absolutely stunning. Bravo Link to comment
robert_g.1 0 Posted October 14, 2007 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 Link to comment
photodonn 0 Posted October 14, 2007 Beautiful work, it's all been said above, but it's worth repeating. You've made it mystical in a different way, fantastic job. Link to comment
kahkityoong 0 Posted October 16, 2007 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. Link to comment
