Niagara Falls from Helicopter Photo

Photographer’s Note

When I was in Niagara, I took the helicopter ride. Shelled out about C$110 for a 10 minute ride (talk about rip-offs). But it was worth every penny.

I took a lot of photos from the chopper. Here is one. You can see the Canadian Falls as well as the American Falls.

Originally, the picture was quite bland with some reflection from the helicopter glass. So, I cloned out some of the reflection and then adjusted the levels and saturation to get this eye-catching effect (my opinion).

A little tip when taking helicopter rides for the purpose of photography. Try to grab the seat next to the pilot. That is the best place for photography. Otherwise you are stuck to one side only.

Quelle chance de pouvoir survoler un tel paysage en hélicoptère....et celà valait bien le petit sacrifice financier! Une vue spectaculaire qui montre bien l'immensité de ces chutes.

Hi Berham,

You did a good job with removing glass reflections. They are sill visible but not obstructing view of the falls.
