Canon 5DII + TSE-24mmII@f8 and a LCW 9-stop ND filter.

Here I severely emulated (copied) Josef Hoflehner down to even trying to find his precise vantage point and focal length.


Hoflehner's Niagara Falls



I did okay but in processing I could not solve his wonderful "soft" technique. Those of you who know Hoflehner probably know what I'm talking about. It's a certain rendering that has a soft sheen to it. No idea if it's his lenses or processing, though he once told me that he does very little processing and generally waits for ideal lighting conditions. Still I can't help but think he has a technique or secret of some kind to get that look.

whatever you are calling it, I really like the soft water with sharp borders along the different streams (flows). very good.

Good job.
An icon as much as any icon out west.

Take it, make it your own. Study it.
Then go back and really make one of your own.
The playbook for icons.

A very nice take of Niagara Falls. I like this in B&W. It's hard to say how Josef Hoflehner achieved his look, but I sure like the look of yours. It's fun to be inspired by others, and it can be a fun challenge to try and emulate their work. We most often learn techniques or get ideas while emulating that we then take as our own and use them in our own personal way as Craig is suggesting.

This is great, and nothing like the typical shots of Niagara that I was expecting. Simply, stunning. This should be printed big!.

I am not a big fan of replication, but your shot looks great to me.
Good job!

Awesome! Love the detail in the foreground rocks, reminds me of soft indirect canyon light from the desert sw.

This shot was taken in non-ideal circumstances. It was actually fairly sunny. However, the mist from the falls at this spot creates a lot of shade. Anyone interested in visiting the falls might consider going on a cloudy day. Sunlight tends to render harshly there. I will probably return when it's overcast.

It's a pretty cool shot regardless. I really like the contrast between the hard and misty elements.
