Niagara Falls at Night by Peter Cheung

July 2024 - Niagara Falls at Night

About the Image(s)

The picture was taken couple years ago. Niagara Falls at night are illuminated and bathed in a vibrant array of colors. The dynamic lighting effect of the waterfalls turns the falls into a colorful and stunning display. Camera settings are Nikon D850, Nikon 18-35mm, f/8, 2.5 sec, ISO-400, 23mm. In post-processing, I cropped out the sky a little bit, corrected the perspective, and brightened up the shadow.

WOW! Just spectacular! I love Niagra Falls and it's been a long time since I've been there! Is this during the Holiday season? Sort of looks like that. But not a thing to say about the end result. Thanks for sharing it with us!   Posted: 07/12/2024 19:06:34

I've never been to Niagara Falls, but here in Wisconsin we are at the other end of the Niagara Escarpment. It a great photo and appears to be a long exposure by the look of the water on the falls and in the river. I like the sky and found the various areas of lights kept me looking through the photo to keep discovering new things. The colors of the lights behind the falls really add interest and grab your attention when you first look at the photo.   Posted: 07/12/2024 20:27:08

Peter, this is a fantastic shot - perhaps not for someone from Buffalo, but wow, you really captured the Horseshoe Falls beautifully.

I liked this shot so much I just had to play with it - I wanted to see what it might look like without the hand of man. Nothing major, just removing HOM and pumping up the contrast and a minor crop - anyway, I hope you like my renditions but congrats on a winner.   Posted: 07/21/2024 03:48:35

A superb image Peter, as always. The way you've presented it to us with some foreground detail, in what I imagine was a very dark area really completes this image.   Posted: 07/22/2024 08:26:39
