Catching Falling Water

A Finger Lakes Waterfall Photography Guide

Rainbow Falls – Watkins Glen State Park

How to plan, shoot, and come home with polished waterfall images from two of the Finger Lakes’ most rewarding photography destinations.

The Finger Lakes region of upstate New York is a dream location for waterfall photography. Long, narrow lakes, steep gorges, layered rock walls, and shaded trails combine to create scenes that feel cinematic even before you raise the camera. Read the post here.

The Finger Lakes region of upstate New York is a dream location for waterfall photography. Long, narrow lakes, steep gorges, layered rock walls, and shaded trails combine to create scenes that feel cinematic even before you raise the camera. For more check out my latest post at Travelling to Banff National Park this summer, don't miss this chance to visit Canada's second highest waterfall - Takakkaw Falls - located in Yoho National Park. For photography advice at the falls check out my post https://photographicjourney.ca/2025/02/08/explore-takakkaw-falls-canadas-second-highest-waterfall/ #waterfallphotography #landscapephotography #Yohonationalpark There is something very calming about a waterfall closeup. No real subject to grab your attention, no leading lines or framing. Just water falling. I find them mesmerizing. #waterfall #abstractlandscape The Finger Lakes region of upstate New York is just full of canyons and waterfalls. Watkins Glen is one of the most picturesque, and a relatively easy hike. If you are planning on visiting Banff this summer, why not consider a few days in Kananaskis Country. This is Banff without the crowds, nice to get away. For more check https://photographicjourney.ca/2023/07/26/kananaskis-country/ Probably my favorite image from St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. A view of The Battery on the outskirts of the city. Once an fishing outpost, it is now a popular suburb. For more check out my Travel Guides, the Newfoundland section. https://photographicjourney.ca/travel-guides/ It was just about one year ago that I spent a week in Newfoundland and Labrador and what a great, memorable trip it was. So picturesque, and the people were so warm and friendly. For more pics check out my Newfoundland Collection here; https://photographicjourney.ca/newfoundland-collection/ Spring wildflowers are some of my favorite subjects. Pictured is the purple Trillium, kind of a rarity on the forest floor. Travelling this summer? Looking for your next photographic adventure?

The Trilliums are some of the first sprout in order to catch the sun's rays on the forest floor. #lccphoto #trilliums If you find yourself on the Bonavista Peninsular in Newfoundland and Labrador, don't forget to check out the Skerwink Trail. A great 5k hike with incredible views and the chance to see some wildlife. For more check out my post about the trail. https://photographicjourney.ca/2025/09/15/the-skerwink-trail/ Every spring I try to get out and take shots of the spring wildflowers. This year I have been experimenting with using different backgrounds. Something I learned from the Lakeshore Camera Club!. Pictured is a focus stack of a Trillium. #flowerphotography #lakeshorecameraclub
