Hamilton Area Waterfall Shoot


I just got back from one of the most successful days out shooting ever! I was visiting a location that I have never explored before and I guess I just timed it perfect. The weather was dull and gloomy (just the way I like it) and there was plenty of fog for atmosphere. I spent 7 hours shooting and hiking and if I had to count (you know I will) I would say there are at least 6 portfolio quality images from my shoot.

For those of you looking for somewhere spectacular to shoot close to Southern Ontario than check out the Webster Falls area near Hamilton Ontario, just do a google search to find out the details and be prepared to hike down into the gorge as that is where most of the action is, not from the tour bus lookouts at the top!

I particularly enjoyed using the Canon 45mm Tilt Shift lens to create a gorgeous panorama of a lower Tews falls (see image below). I used the shift function of the lens to take 3 separate images and then merged them together in Photoshop.
