Yikes, too short notice for me. I made plans for the Saturday to accomodate my Sunday macro shoot. I'll definitely be in for the next one. Getting to these Falls was the original impetus for me joining this group...

Was down at Tiffany falls last weekend. Completely frozen over, but some wonderful colours in the Ice.

Looks super cool

I was at Tiffany Falls last winter and got some nice photos (similar colours in the ice as well for me). The day I went there were a few people ice climbing the frozen water!

Here are a couple I took (colours were punched up in post)

Saw this on your Flickr photostream, I thought you had PS'd those colours in.

Awesome.

Had a blast Saturday chasing waterfalls!

We started off at Stephanie's Falls and were greeted by 5 deer. Then we had an epic lunch, and finished at Fifty Rd. Beach.

Here are my shots:

Sherman Falls:

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vincedotca/4380037265/" title="Big Sherman by vincedotca, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4062/4380037265_cf834a7e2f_o.jpg" width="598" height="900" alt="Big Sherman"></a>

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vincedotca/4380037459/" title="The Sherminator by vincedotca, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2726/4380037459_54fb9fcc99_o.jpg" width="900" height="598" alt="The Sherminator"></a>


Epic feast:
<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/vincedotca/4380037597/" title="Epic feast! by vincedotca, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2713/4380037597_fce472ebcf_o.jpg" width="664" height="1000" alt="Epic feast!"></a>

Albion Falls:

Almost the exact same Fifty Rd. Beach shot as Tyler:

Lol, it's true. You can see my little ruben with sweet potato fries in the lower part of that photo!

And yes, Tyler was defeated by the mega platter as the waitresses said he would be :P

That's hilarious, food for the week!

The source of the epic platter was the Brassie Pub in the Ancaster Town plaza:

Where is Fifty Beach? Those are my favorite. They remind me of the work of Michael Kenna.
