A famous tourist attraction and spectacular sight, Niagara Falls are actually a group of falls straddling the border between the USA and Canada. They drain Lake Erie into Lake Ontaria with a vertical drop of over 50m, and is the most powerful and have the highest flow rate of any waterfall in North America.
Note
This article is part of our USA Film Retrospective series, featuring images captured mostly on film on budget cameras in the 1990s and early 2000s. The images have been scanned from film negatives (up to 30 years old) and then post processed to artificially increase sharpness. Please forgive us if they do not meet your expectations of photographic quality.
We visited the American side of the falls after spending a night at Buffalo, NY (and yes, I had Buffalo wings for dinner). There was an unusual amount of water flow recently, which had damaged some of the sightseeing platforms so we could only view the falls from above, but they were still spectacular.
This is a series of articles featuring photographs mainly taken in 1990s using a variety of film cameras, ranging from compact cameras such as the Canon Sure Shot to SLRs such as the Pentax PZ-70.
