You would allmost think the Falls are in a
wild nature park that you have accidentally
discovered... To bad the reality is nothing
like that. Nice shot!
Thanks corber, you too. The water was clear
;), because in the USA and in Canada people
do not have the bad habit to throw their
garbage in it :) (like they do here in The
Netherlands).
Gorgeous angle and composition! I wouldn't dare to bring my camera on The
Maid of the Mist though :) Glad you did (at
least I assume). Wonderful capture!
Thanks flyingdutchee, well, on the Maid of
the Mist you wear rain coats, and if you keep
your camera under it.. it won't become wet..
and between the American and the Canadian
part of the falls, it will stay dry for..
probably 30 seconds.. so that's when I took
this picture :).
And if the camera would have been wet.. my
parents would finally buy a new one, because
we now have a Canon Powershot A60 :(..
however, thanks!
Oh, on your stream I saw that you live in
Buffalo, so you aren't far from Niagara,
right :)?
That's right Wouter, only approx. 15 minute
drive. We did the Maid of the Mist once too,
but i remember buying pretty soaking wet and
smelly, eventhough you get the raincoats. I
still wouldn't want to expose my cameras too
that unless i wouldn't mind having to replace
them, like you said ;) I did take some
videofootage i believe with a very old
camcorder many years ago from the boat.
Exactly at that 'dry moment' you described.
It's a fun ride for sure :D

Yeah, I know, it looks more like Las Vegas (especially the Canadian side).

Perhaps a tighter crop (not too tight though!) would do the subject more justice?
