I really like the photo of the lower falls. Our guests who just checked in said that Taughannock Falls is down to a trickle right now.

Excellent shots.
The inclusion of the foreground elements adds a lot of depth to the photos and the exposure and color are spot on.

The scene may have benefitted from possibly a polarizing filter and (this may be just me) a portrain orientation (given the shape of the falls).
How big are these?

Thanks, Brenda
I like the lower falls too. I was down by Buttermilk and Watkins Glen two weekends ago and both of them were just a trickle.

Thanks, Matt,
Yes a polarizing filter would help but I don't have one for my A-70 camera.
The height of the top falls is about 15 feet and the bottom falls I would put about 40 to 50 feet. I'm going back when the leave change and will use my new camera, but as of now I don't have any filters for that one either, all in due time.

Ah the A70... a classic.

I buy filters from http://www.photofilter.com/
They have prices well below most other places.
