A Black & White Field Trip (Victoria Falls, Truro, Nova Scotia)

Digital infrared original

Victoria Falls is a striking gem located in Truro; a series of waterfalls on a relatively slow flowing river through a park that runs through a residential area - it is, for all of that, a stunningly beautiful place to photograph. The above image takes full advantage of the low contrast of infrared photograph to blend the sunlit trees and deep shade of the falls into a single, striking result.

Part of what I love about Victoria Falls is how active the river is in many different ways. Just down from the falls, the riverbed is relatively flat, with small rocks providing interruptions to the river flow.
