Up close, tourists not only have a glorious view, but also experience the roar and the mist of these majestic cascades.
A feast for the senses!

I must respond, though, to the grossly unfair misrepresentation of my image, from the above self-proclaimed "specialist," Ashley Wilkes.
This is the e-mail I just sent her.
To Ms. Wilkes:
"This morning, I earned a POTD; on an image that had MINIMAL editing. A long exposure night shot of Niagara Falls, illuminated under colored lights (Which are shown every evening). The face of the falls are illuminated, the top of the falls remain dark under the night sky.
Slander. You have publicly ridiculed and falsely accused me of altering things I did not do. You've poisoned my image. I have never done anything to hurt or harm you.
How unfair!
How hateful!
PS: I suggest that you look up images of Niagara Falls at night and see that what I'm telling you about the light and color are correct, as it is apparent that you haven't seen them for yourself."
Regarding this image, I want to mention the amount of thought and time that went into it. I spotted this scene one night while shooting at the Falls. I returned to the Falls two more times just to get it RIGHT. The first captures turned out not as good as I would have liked. The light and timing were tricky. Tough to get the people still enough, while maintaining the silky veiling of the water. I was really happy when I saw the capture when reviewing my shots on the computer. After many attempts at getting this shot, I finally did it. THRILLED to get it acknowledged by the magazine, and again, this morning when selected as POTD.
Too bad, this moment had to be marred by the ignorant statements of one critic.
Shown is the 'Straight From the Camera' capture of this image, along with the subsequent frame. As you can see, although edited somewhat, it was not altered as Ms. Wilkes implies.
Sincerely,
Lisa Boulden

ps: I originally was going to request from BP that A.W.'s mean-spirited statement be removed from this thread. But with all the subsequent support of my BP friends, and my fervent belief in the freedom of speech, I left her statement there for all to see, and to judge for themselves.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
You learn by doing. Take your next online photography class.
