Clinton's Big Ditch

Rode my bike from Niagara Falls to Tonawanda today. I shot four images and made this panorama of the Erie Canal. The Erie Canal divides the twin cities before it empties in to the Niagara river. I liked the reflections in this image.

This is my daughter Christina. She is my stand in model so I can adjust my lights for an upcoming portrait session.

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.
