Hired to photograph scenic’s of Niagara Falls for tour books and posters, our first day started out rough, rain over cast skies and a worried art director. Even though it was raining and a tight shoot schedule, I tried to put our art director at ease. “Not all the images have to be sunny blue skies, we may like it if we get some dramatic sky as well, let go and shoot in this overcast rain ". Off we went me thinking what did I get myself into shooting in the rain next to the mist of Niagara constantly covering my lenses and a frustrated art director looking at his phone and the weather channel ever second.

With some perseverance we were able to capture a few images. Soaked to the bone we decided to break for breakfast. I uploaded the first couple of images shot of the breaking thunder head and shared; frustration went to joy as Jim realized the choice to shoot in the rain was worth the effort.
By 8:00 the weather started to break. Although it is a frequented destination by many, I will always be in awe of the power and beauty of the water of Niagara.
