COHOES FALLS, NEW YORK

This panoramic is a "stitching" from four separate images.

This is the Cohoes Falls in the upstate NY area, part of the Mohawk River.  It is the second largest waterfalls in New York State.  (Niagara Falls being the largest).


It has a lot of history behind it, much of it relating to the Mohawk Indians.


Because it changes so often, (from roaring to dry and everywhere in between), the photographer is constantly drawn back to it.  I thrilled at the opportunity to add this to my collection, and have a growing urge to grab as many more panorama's as I can.

Try Something Different



Enter The Mist



While on our way to a photo shoot early one morning, the temptation was to be routine and not very exciting.  My fellow photographer and I have traveled this highway many, many times.  One early foggy morning, I wondered what the fog would look like at a certain clearing along the Mohawk River.  As we approached the clearing, I asked my photo buddy to grab my camera (which is always on hand and ready to go), and just start photographing.  Being a bit of a spontaneous person, she did, and came up with a handful of interesting images.  It was a whim, a chance to try something different.  Sure, there were more unusable images than keepers, but it was a good experiment and we had a good time.  I edited this in a way that is not my usual style, but I wanted to try something different.
