On my way home from a bike ride today I made this image. This is shot from the Lindberg Ave. bridge looking south over Cayuga creek. I focus stacked three images at different focal lengths and merged them with Photoshop CC. I used a R-72 infrared filter on a Canon Powershot sx50 hs.

Lockport falls wasn't much of a falls, more like a cascading stream and that's being kind. I really like this place when the water is flowing so I think I will wait for some rains then make another attempt at this one.

Erie Canal

I found this old building along the Erie canal. I liked the reflections in the water. It almost looks painted. The early morning sun gave this scene a beautiful warming effect. It reminds me of possibly what the canal looked like in the 1800's. I had to crop the image to a 1:1 ratio because the surrounding scene had too many modern structures and wouldn't give this image the same look.

Holley Waterfall

The key to a successful waterfall image is getting the water blur just right. On this shot the water was half blown out highlights from the sun and half in shadow. I used f-11 in aperture priority on seven bracketed exposures. I then added 4x neutral density filter and exposure compensated the the camera with a -2. This allowed me to composite the images in HDR and save all the highlight and shadow details. The blur in the water will automatically happen with this technique.
