    Another shot of Niagara Falls during the festival of lights. I went closer to this one for a tighter shot.

    Niagara Falls Winter Festival of Lights is a spectacular lightshow that includes an illuminated 5-km route of lighted displays.

    Note: With the ISO kicked up to 1250, the noise is a bit apparent.

      alas! both your comments leave me speechless too... i can only try my best... but i'm still a long ways off to both your levels.

      yeah you should... bring the wifey and enjoy the view

      yeah... 6 years is a long time... your visit is way overdue then... oh and don't forget to bring the camera of course (just take note that it could get wet so be very careful).

      amazing colors. the way the mist catches the light is just stunning. great shot!

      spectacular. do those lights dance?

    10. The Veiled Chamber (50 months ago | reply)

      thank you so much for your kind comments.

      i wouldn't exactly say dance... but they do transition from one color to the next... there's also a background music to all of it... and somehow it the transitioning is following the rhythm of the song... :)

      That looks beautiful. Excellent capture. Have you been unhappy with a longer exposure that you kicked the ISO up that much or were you limited to handheld?

    12. The Veiled Chamber (50 months ago | reply)

      the elbowing for a good position on the railing of the view deck pretty much ruled out a tripod setup... so yeah... i was limited to handheld
