Miniaturization of Clifton Hill, Niagara Falls
“This is my first attempt at miniaturizing a photo. The shot is of the Clifton Hill area of Niagara Falls at night. Taken on February 9th, 2010 from Skylon Tower using my old Sony DSC-H9 point and shoot.”
Visit the site to see the picture…
I believe this effect is called Tilt Shift, and I’ve posted about it before.

Sightsmap – How many people are taking pictures?
Have you ever looked at Panoramio? It is a site that Google acquired a while ago where users can post pictures of places and tag them with their location. It’s a good site to visit if you are going to travel, as you can see the sights before you go.
Anyway, the other day I came across a site called Sightsmap. It creates a “heat” map of the world based on the number of pictures are taken at a location. So a place that is popular will be so hot it is yellow. This is what the world looks like:
Here is a zoomed in view of Southern Ontario. You can see that Niagara Falls is popular.

CAA Winter Festival of Lights in Winter 2011/2012
On December 30, my family headed down to Niagara Falls to view the lights in Queen Victoria Park. The CAA Winter Festival of Lights doesn’t seem to change much year to year, but it still a nice sight. Almost anything looks good lit up at night.
I took some pictures as we walked around. Not all of them are of the CAA Winter Festival of Lights, but they were all taken on the same night so I’ve put them in the same gallery. You can see a few thumbnails below, or you can see the entire gallery (15 images) in the CAA Winter Festival of Lights in Winter 2011/2012 image gallery.

Travel photo of the day: Colorful Niagara Falls
From the Travel section of the NBC Today Show web site (including photo):
Mary Umbricht of Seekonk, Mass., captured this beautiful photo of Niagara Falls.
Umbricht took the picture on Saturday while spending a long weekend in Canada. There was “a lot of color,” she told TODAY.com, and visibility was great due to no leaves on the trees.

Clifton Hill – “The Most Fun by the Falls!”
A photographer with a Blogger blog posted about a recent trip to Niagara Falls:
After shooting more pictures of both the American Falls and Horseshoes Falls then I would ever need but seemingly unable to stop taking “just one more” shot of the beautifully illuminated falls, I finally convinced myself that enough was enough and pointed my feet in the direction of Clifton Hill for the trek back up to my car which I had parked not too far from the base of Skylon Tower.
He took some fantastic night pictures of Clifton Hill that you should check out.

Great Experiences on Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls
The Clifton Hill blog has a nice write-up about a photographer from Holland who came and visited, along with some links to some great pictures. Check it out!
A few weeks ago we were contacted by professional photographer Ken Cranney, who recently visited Niagara Falls with his wife Ina and son Riley. They traveled all the way from Holland and met up with some close friends, who drove in from New Jersey. Ken is actually a Canadian living in Holland while his wife and son are Dutch. They all converged on Clifton Hill’s World Famous Street of Fun by the Falls to kick off a fun filled weekend!

The Traveling Camera: Niagra Falls
From The Source Weekly (including a nice picture):
Niagara Falls is one of those places where you can forget its beauty because the falls are surrounded by cheesy attractions in Canada and by rather squalid urban areas on the American side. But the falls are still impressive.

Pictures from Winter Festival of Lights (2010/2011) Opening Ceremonies
Last Saturday I went to the opening of ceremonies for the CAA Winter Festival of Lights. It is the first time I’ve ever been. I spoke to my wife about it earlier in the week, and we thought our kids would enjoy seeing Mickey and Minnie Mouse, as well as Greg Frewin, so we made the trek down. The ceremony was about an hour long. It doesn’t sound that long, but for the kids, it was an eternity. They enjoyed some of the songs and dancers, but they certainly didn’t understand why there were people standing at the podium every few minutes speaking for a minute. Ultimately they really enjoyed themselves. My sons were thrilled by the fireworks, but my daughter didn’t look at them at all as she couldn’t stop looking at the Disney Princess display 
Anyway, I took some pictures while I was there. As always, you can see some of the thumbnails below. You can see the rest of the images, along with all of the full size images, in the Winter Festival of Lights in Winter 2010/2011 gallery.
Note: As of the time of this posting, there are 3,262 images in 255 categories in the Niagara Falls Image Gallery.
