The Falls at Twighlight

Next time I go, I really hope to spend a few hours hanging out here from this moment to into full night fall. Hopefully on a night with a new moon. I don't know, maybe moonlight would be cool.

That's the visitor center on the right. You can see the lights in the windows. This really reminded me of a Thomas Kinkade painting. Twighlight can be such a cool time of day.

Niagara Falls

Well, here it is. Niagara Falls as shot from the Canadian side. I had travelled very light on this journey. Choosing to fit everything I needed for a weekend in a single bag. I had packed my camera bag and most of the my lenses and various other camera stuff in the carry-on bag as well. I like to move quickly through the airports.

The one piece I didn't bring was my tripod. The one I have doesn't pack all the small and can do some damage if it isn't done correctly. I had borrowed one while here in Canada but at this location, chose not to set it up. We were travelling with other people and I was trying to keep up. We photographers tend to move slowly, I hear.

The reflections on the water are really beautiful.

Neon, neon, neon

It doesn't take long to realize that you've entered a tourist area when you are in Niagara Falls.

Walking down the street, you are surrounded by neon sign after neon sign only interrupted by the occassional incandecent sign.

Neon has always fascinated me with it's color saturation. This exposure is as shot.

Niagara Falls Ferris Wheel: Redux

Here's the ferris wheel I shared with you a few weeks ago. This time, I chose to place a neon sign in front. Niagara Falls is quite, shall we say, touristy.

The striking contrast and the saturation of the colors from the neon just made this shot irresistable to me.

It's wet near the falls in Niagara Falls

I took this shot free hand. The reflections in the water just make for a great story. The little boy blurring out just happened to be pretty cool.

Niagara Falls Ferris Wheel

The stark contrast of the intense white Ferris Wheel against the pitch black sky was just awesome.

The Ferris Wheel at Niagara Falls

This past weekend, I enjoyed a wonderful trip to Toronto to hang out with friends. On Sunday, we ventured down to Niagara Falls for a bit of sightseeing. This Ferris Wheel overlooks the falls but is actually quite beautiful itself. The park near by provided the beautiful green glow.
