I made this image while standing next to the railing of the Maid of the Mist tour boat as it moved past American Falls, the second highest of Niagara’s falls at 100 feet. My goal was to express the powerful energy of the water as it crashed into the rocks at the base of the falls. I used a very fast shutter speed of nearly 1/1000th of a second to catch a water bird soaring through the clouds of exploding water.
