This falls was the site of a tragic dam failure in 1977 that killed almost 40 people in the college and town below. The dam was made to power a small hydroelectric power plant which still stands near the falls today.

This photo was originally taken on 4x5 large format Velvia 50. I’m rediscovering it almost 5 years later. The scene was quite contrasty, with the snow on the mountain, and, unfortunately, the film was generally underexposed. I was able to rescue the image by bringing up the shadows and converting to monochrome. It is still quite dark, however; I think it works to set a moody, dramatic, scene.

A little darker and it would be a great night scene for a Hollywood movie. How about Hitchcock's North by Northwest?

One of my favorites from you, just on a formal basis--lots of interesting symmetries to explore (not to mention some great gradations, especially in at the "middle distance.")
At any rate, if you want a combination of Higher Ed and waterfalls, Cornell would be hard to beat--and of course, Taughannock Falls is just across the lake (though even you might have trouble finding a wide enough lens.:))

Wow -- that's great!

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thanks Alan, Steven, Jon, and Ben!
I was lucky with the clouds. The overcast day broke finally, with some puffy clouds making the sun hazy but directional raking across the scene beautifully. I took a photo about 30 minutes before which is just dull and boring due to the light. People were all over the place taking selfies, but I waited until it just about cleared...you can still see the blur of one person on the far left middle, and there's a backpack in the scene, but in b&w they blend in well enough.
I think the polarizer really helped too. I need to use that more in these conditions...
PS: I really wanted the trees bracketing the falls, which came out well here. Inside, after shooting this, I was browsing a a collection of old line drawings and paintings from probably 50-100 years ago, all of which prominently displayed trees bracketing the falls. Seems I was in good company!
