Gravity and Light


Niagara (Copyright © 2003 The Real Kahuna) The Falls by night, floodlit from Canada.

KATUGASTOTA, Sri Lanka -- I have decided to take a few minutes (actually about a good half hour over @#$#$%#@% GPRS) to recognize St Doofy's call to "lose the macro mode."

This is as far as it gets from macro - wide angle with a long exposure. Sony DSC-D770 on tripod mount, manual exposure at f/2.4 for 1/2 second. "Kahuna" would probably have calculated how much water went over the falls during the shot but I can't be bothered... :-D

Well since you asked, that would be 1,400 cubic meters (50,000 cubic feet) of water. In other words, 1.4 million litres or approximately 369,841 gallons.

Quite a waste just to take a photograph!
