Motif: Water - "Niagara Falls"

[Gus Cobos]

Motif: Water – “Niagara Falls”

Note: circa 1986.
This was taken from the fairy boat that takes the tourist close to the edge of the falls where everybody gets wet from the roaring waters coming down from the drop, and the fog like mist that is formed. The image was painted with an Asahi Pentax ME 35mm film camera, using a Pentax SMC Pentax-m 50mm f/1.4 lens. The negative was scanned into digital jpeg format.

Comments greatly appreciated...:cool:

Gus, I've never been to Niagra Falls- always wanted to go. The water color is very nice. I like all the Aqua coloring- the spray is a nice touch.Well done as usual!

Hard to tell how big they are until you see the people at the top! Like how the line at the top goes from high to receding at the right. You can hear them thundering!

Very dramatic shot. Love the composition and the colours.

I didn't have time to do the boat trip during my fleeting visit to the falls. You certainly get a more interesting perspective than from the top.

Cheers.
