Second Look

Here is another angle of the beautiful white bird fishing for his lunch.

Lucky Break

We don't usually see white egrets in Niagara Falls. I am not a birder so he possibly could be an albino version of a great blue heron, I don't really know for sure.This guy has been stalking Gill creek for two years now that I know of and maybe longer. I catch glimpses of him occasionally on my bike rides. He will see me and he's gone, not a photogenic type I guess. This day was an exception he didn't care as much about me as long as I kept my distance, as he did about catching his lunch. Lucky break for me the sun was cooperating and so was a nice reflection in the water.

Ray of Light

This particular image I switched to a 10x ND filter. Exposure ended up at 30 sec. at f-2.8 and iso 100. I started the exposure while the falls was under cloud cover but halfway thru the a ray of sunlight came through the trees and lit up the water.

Peaceful Delight

While at Lockport falls I made some color exposures. To make the water blur you need a good tripod and a slow shutter speed. This one I used a 4X nd filter to slow the shutter speed to 6 sec. at f-11, iso 200.

A Little Waterfall

Went to Lockport and stopped by this little gem. It had been raining for the past week so I had plenty of water flow. I used an infrared R-79 red filter to make the foliage white. Long exposure of 30 sec. at 2.8 and iso 100.

Down the Stretch

A big stretch dual in the eight race with Gandys Got Gold and Rock My Soul challenging.

Big Win

Another jockey, Juan Crawford. He is smiles from ear to ear after an unexpected win on long shot Crowns Dancer.
