Here is a collection of some more images from my trip to Niagara Falls last weekend. Dull grey weather (and a lot of rain) was the order of the day. All images taken with my Sony A7ii, mainly with the Nikkor 20mm/f.8 lens.

Old and New
It was a rather grey and soggy weekend in Niagara Falls, but I did have fun shooting black and white images with the Sony A7ii; It’s great to be able to use 50 year old lenses on a new camera. (In this case it was a Nikkor 50mm/f1.4 lens).
More Forgotten Frames
When I finished up and developed a roll of RPX 400 film that had been in my Hasselblad film holder for a few weeks, I found a few more images of the White Water Walk close to Niagara Falls that I had forgotten about. A pleasant surprise!
White Water Walk in Colour
A few last images from the White Water Walk near Niagara Falls. In its own way, the path was as interesting as the water. All taken with Hasselblad 500C/M and 50mm/4 Distagon lens on Lomography 400 C-41 colour film
Power Station
Last Sunday morning I drove a few minutes from Niagara-On-the-Lake towards Niagara Falls to take a few images of the Sir Adam Beck power station with my Hasselblad 500C/M and Distagon 50mm/4 lens. The film was Kodak Portra 800, exposed at E.I. 400.
Without Colour
Today, one of the first of a couple more images from the White Water Walk near Niagara Falls, Ontario. Rather than focusing on the water, I am focusing on the walkway beside the rapids. This image (taken with my Hasselblad 500C/M and 50mm/4 Distagon lens) was originally shot on Lomography 400 colour film, but after scanning, I think I like the black and white version better, with its emphasis on textures.
White Water
This past weekend as part of our trip to Niagara-On-the-Lake I drove along the Niagara Parkway towards the falls and went along the White Water Walk, beside the turbulent rapids. I made these three images using my Hasselblad 500C/M, and 80mm Planar lens with a red-orange filter attached. The film was Rollei Retro 80s, developed in Rodinal.
With the camera mounted on a tripod I had an exposure time of 1/4 second so that the rapid motion of the water would blur.
A Soggy Day
It was a pretty soggy day in Niagara Falls yesterday, and the two film cameras I had with me had no weather sealing. I wanted this shot at the base of the American falls, so out came the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Smart phone. Quite happy with the results!
Table Rock
This image is a cyanotype of an image I took a bit over a week ago at Niagara Falls, from a spot called Table Rock. I took this image on a Friday morning, very close to the spot where a couple of days later, a young woman would slip and fall into the river and over the falls, to her death.
