Photographing Waterfalls

With April showers comes not just May flowers but the perfect time to photograph waterfalls. I recently came upon this excellent article with tips on how to photograph waterfalls called 7 Effective Waterfall Photography Tips by Australian Photographer, Ilya Genkin. Sure wish I had known about Ilya’s tips before photographing Shelving Rock Falls last year.

If you live in Central or Western New York, visit my friends at Foot Print Press for their waterfall book with detailed directions to 200 waterfalls. Foot Print Press has other books on biking, hiking, paddling, walking and other outdoor activities around New York state.

The first warm weekend day of Spring for this year brought out the walkers to the Onondaga Lake Park in Liverpool, New York. Joining them were rollerbladers, bikers and skateboarders.

Panning is a fun photographic technique to learn and use. Gives a WOW factor to a photo. Click here for an article I wrote about the Art of Panning.

Let’s Go Orange!

Posted on March 20, 2009 by Scott Thomas Photography

The Syracuse Orange Men’s Basketball team has been on a roll lately. They thrilled all their fans by outlasting the Connecticut Huskies in six overtimes during last week’s Big East Tournament and was awarded a number three seed in this week’s NCAA National Championship Tournament. I see many of you are searching for information and photos of the Syracuse Orange basketball team and it’s players.

With that in mind and after receiving a comment and some encouragement by a fellow Orange fan, I have created a special print to commemorate the first ever (as far as I know) Orange Out! at the Carrier Dome from last February in a Big East game against the Georgetown Hoyas. Own a piece of Syracuse Orange Basketball history! GO ORANGE!
