Minnehaha Falls Nocturne
The floodlights on the Minnehaha Falls provide strange colors for a landscape!

Torrent of rainfall over the Minnehaha Falls.
Minnehaha #3 – Twilight
I took this at twilight — there are floodlights on the falls and the light from them created this strange effect, I did not add color to the image at all. The oncoming storm provided the cool clouds.

Back before streetcars, horseless carriages and light rail…
Minnehaha Falls #1
It’s forbidden fruit week on Mitchster! I’ve avoided the obvious Minneapolis photos, but in my quest to document the consequences of the heavy rainfall we have been enjoying, I went to the Grand and Glorious Minnehaha Falls. So here is the first image, a long exposure, hand-held by yours truly, ‘the human tripod.’ One of the skills I am most proud of, the ability to completely stop moving for up to a couple seconds. Weird I know, but it comes in handy. Yes, there is significant post-processing going on here, but with shooting the falls, I can’t just post a plain photo… enjoy!

When my cousin Jenny took a photo class at the U, her instructor told the class that if anyone chose to bring in an assignment photo of Minnehaha falls, it better be a damn good shot of it. For this reason, I’ve avoided posting any photos of it. But, since I was out biking around looking at the rushing rivers from all the rain, I decided to take a photo. This is the classic angle almost everyone sees it from, so I decided to shoot a wide-angle of it, so you can see the ledge wall and the people. It’s unfortunately not a ‘damn good shot’ of the falls, but It’s the best one I got today.
