Niagara Falls at night, winter 2007
Date taken: 30 December 2007 @ approximately 20H52
Nikon D40, 35mm focal length, 30 sec exposure F/6.3, ISO 200
The Canadian winter can be very cold at night, and it took some time to get the shot I wanted. My fingers were a trifle sore after about half an hour. I did not have a tripod, so I placed the camera on a wall fronting the river just before the falls. The surface of the wall was uneven, which made keeping the horizon straight, very difficult. I have to get myself a bean-bag for such occasions. I then had to crouch down, my face touching the cold wall, to look through the viewfinder; very awkward. Given the conditions, I think my composition came out okay.
