This spot is located on the Niagara Parkway on the Canadian side. To see the spot where this shot was taken. click here. The aerial (satellite image) map was taken from Niagara Falls Live.

This shot “Daffodil Dreams” has a very funny anecdote. I had positioned my hassy on a tripod, directly behind the metal railing – about 3 feet from ground level. I had noticed in my peripheral vision that someone was also taking the shot of the daffodils from a different angle. I hit my shutter without thinking twice. While I was editing, I had a little surprise on this image. I had not realized the other photographer had stuck his hand and camera into my composition frame as well. See image below.

I would not have noticed this little surprise in the image if I had not zoomed in at 100% while looking for possible flaws on the scanned image. As I wanted to use this particular image, I had to crop a little tighter. As it turns out, it did not cause any detriment or improve the image.

“Daffodil Dreams” was published in PhotoEd magazine in the Winter 2009 (Black & White) issue.

Series 8: Niagara Falls a Spring Perspective #3

by m.karbach on January 11, 2010

Not too far from where “Mammoth” was shot, I came across this scene on the walkway. With the morning still very foggy, the Niagara River was hidden  from this shot. It gave the impression that the trees were clinging onto the edge of the cliff, hence the name “The Cliff Hangers”

“The Cliff Hangers” is the 3rd photo essay of this Series 8 images.

January 9, 2010

The second image #2 in the Series 8: Niagara Falls A Spring Perspective was taken about a five (5) minute stroll from Twilight Stance shot. The rain had completely stopped, however, it was still a very foggy morning. For a split second I thought I was in a typical foggy London morning.
As I was getting [...]

Series 8: Niagara Falls A Spring Perspective #1

December 26, 2009

To be very clear, this is not a “How to do it …” blog. I created this blog to show where and what can still be seen and captured on film (or digitally) for commonly visited places. In short, a different perspective of the same theme and where these places or sites are located exactly. [...]
