SARATOGA SUNSET

The Adirondack region of the United States provides it's own share of rugged conditions.  Each season can be extreme and very different from each other.  From cold and snowy "Nor Easter" storms to the steamy three H's (hazy, hot, and humid) summers and everywhere in between.

But along with it's challenges, comes a beauty no one can deny, and many are drawn to.

The colors are ever changing and vibrant.

This is a photo of a sunset in Saratoga (the southern portion of the Adirondacks) where I live.  I did not add any enhancement to the colors.  When taking this photo I tried to match the colors using "live view" by adjusting the exposure only.

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.
