Hey everyone, so good to be back on TL, haven't posted in a while. Been meeting with some good TL friends, traveling, visiting family etc. This is a night shot of Niagara, after a full day of fun with Silke and Tomek at the falls. So good to see them and spend the day shooting with them. Poor Dave was drug from one end of the falls to the other, many times. After we said goodbye to Tom and Silke, we went back for night shots and I picked this up, as a moon rise made this night perfect!
Hope you like it!
I missed all of you!
Linda

Hi Linda,

Interest of this picture! Brilliant idea of your presentation. My warm congratulations!
Have a beautiful week,

Hello Linda,
A classic shot.
The colors and the dim light is giving magical effect to the picture.
absence of moon would definitely had effected the picture,
as its presence is giving pleasing effect.
Regards

Hi Linda

Aha! So that's where you've been! Good sharpness, & I like the violet illumination on the impressive cataract. A good nocturnal shot, with well controlled lighting & superb lighting contrasts. Tfs!

Hi Linda

Impressive shot of the falls by night.
The rising moon and the glow on the water look good.
Nice one.

Regards Derek

Hi Linda,
Great nocturnal picture of the falls. The (almost) full moon is a wonderful detail, like the shining and colourful reflections. I assume you used a tripod for this picture? Anyway a stunning view well captured and presented! Good to know you had a great time wit Tomek ans Silke!

Hey, Linda -
Welcome back! Great post to start off with - the falls are lit so beautifully and subtly and you really captured the right balance with moon, the buildings and the reflection on the sharply shown surface of the water. I can't wait to see more posts from your trip. Cheers -

hi linda.
i missed you.
this is a great image. the colour of the water is beautiful and must have been amazing to see for real.

the moon has added a greater mood and shows the power of nature.

i can't wait to see more.
Brian.

ps. douglas and i had a day out last week. have a look at our pics. you would have been in your element.

Hi Linda,

The silky smooth purple falls are magnificent. This is a really nice night scene and something we don't see very often. The full moon is a real bonus. Welcome back.

Best regards,
Werner

very brilliant colors on the stunning composition..

Hi Linda:)
I knew it!!! ha ha - I forgot to tell you... your first night post from the falls will be in blue!!!
Very nice capture here - good details and exposure.
At night - there is some special mood:)
Hugs - Tom
P.S.
I'm still driving - no time for computer but I'll send you pictures asap:):):)

Hi Linda,

This image of Niagara by night looks wonderful, great capture from all points of view. Congratulations!

Nice nightscape Linda!! The vertical format works perfectly for this scene..

Just interested as to why the choice of F4.5 and 1 second as personally I'd have taken a smaller aperture and longer shutter speed - if only to get smoother water for the moon's reflection and little twinkling starlights..

Cheers
David
