The last shot I’ll leave you with is the one I chose to start the story off as well. It’s of Horseshoe Falls and I just love it (and I hope you will too!). It was taken right at the edge of the observation patio on the Canadian side around 7:30 in the morning. You have to go very, very early to avoid the crowds that are there later in the day.

In this shot, you can see the mist I was talking about above. The sun was up but there was decent cloud cover, which added some nice interest to the sky. I wanted a long exposure so I put on my Lee Big Stopper Filter (10 stops) for this one. I also put two of the tripod legs on the outside of the railing to get as close as I possibly could to the falls. Now - I don’t recommend doing this unless you are very careful. I put a safety cable around the camera and tripod just in case things went south and the camera decided to try and go for a swim.
