Niagara Falls in the winter

Today was a good day, I got a chance to spend time with my family and get some nice shots for a change. We went to Niagara Falls, New York. I would say im quite lucky to have it at my fingertips, its a beautiful place to see. There is so much more to see, than just the falls. The Niagara Gorge is a sight to see, in my opinion, I think its more breathtaking than the falls. Surrounded by extremely hight cliffs, the Niagara River rushes through with a beautiful deep turquoise blue, with whirlpools and rapids. I have yet to get the shot though, as the sights I have picked out are from an area where you cant just get out and shoot.. I have to plan a route so I can park, load the pack and hike to my spots. But needless to say I did grab a few nice shots of the falls, and a few others. It was cold but beautiful with the falls flowing and the banks covered with snow.

Travel photography

I would like to say first, I apologize for anyone that has started reading my blog to see that I haven't posted in quite a while. I have had a lot going to my mind lately mostly with travel photography. This year I'm thinking about being more adventurous with my photography. First and foremost I am adding more to my photography skills by taking up MatadorU travel photography classes. Also I'm looking into buying a kayak to travel up streams to the hard to get to places to be able to start getting them 1 of a kind shots. And another plan is sailing, I bought a sailboat last year and it needs work what I plan to do some sailing this year on Lake Ontario and again bring my viewers some spectacular shots. I also plan on buying some type of video camera so I can start doing tutorials so people that Follow Me and look work can also learn for me and start taking spectacular shot themselves. Right now I only use a Nikon d7000 but I am looking to upgrade to either nikon D 7100 or the Nikon D 600 I'm waiting for the 7100 to come out so I can compare the 2, as I am thinking that 24 megapixels would be more effective on the DX format opposed to 24 megapixels on the full frame FX format DSLR . So if you have any ideas or any input for me please feel free to comment on my post and we can discuss it.
