It's beginning to look a lot like fall in western New York. Grab your camera, get out there, take some pictures, have fun. Just some images I captured this past week while traveling around my area.

Photographing Waterfalls by Gary Muth

Whenever I get a chance I like to get out of the studio and photograph nature. Waterfalls are my favorite subjects because they are so tricky to handle. I took these last week at a small nature park in Lockport, NY. First off your chances of success improve greatly if you photograph the falls on an overcast day. This makes handling the highlights easier but I still bracket my exposures. I prefer to use a ND filter too, to knock down the exposures even more to get a great blur on the water. We hold two annual workshops to teach the proper techniques in shooting waterfall pictures correctly.
