Niagara Falls
-
As some of you know, I was in NY this past summer for like 1 night, but I did manage to get a little vacation out of it(26hrs straight boomer haha) for about 2 hours. I forgot about the pictures I took while I was there, and while watching a show today I remember that I had pictures of Niagara Falls so I thought what the hell I'll share some with you guys. Now the pictures were taken with my camera phone(V710 1.2Megapixel) so they don't look horrible but they definately aren't poster quality. The fact we were there from like 4-6 doesnt really help anything because the sun was pointed pretty much directly at me. I wish I could have taken pictures from the Canadian side because the sun would not have affected me so much. Now heres my advice if you guys ever end up there: Go to the Canadian side and just drive right passed the American side. I hate to say this but the American side is nothing short of dirty and run down. It was the big place to be a decade or so ago but has really lost its luster. We parked to walk to the Falls and it was an incredible neighborhood. I didn't know if I would come back to 2 complete cars or not, or if we were gonna get mugged on the way to the Falls. Mind you, we were only about 2 blocks away from the bigger tourist attractions. It's definately very urban and pretty ghetto style. I wish we would have gone to the Canadian side as that is where almost all of the really fun stuff is at. I just didn't feel comfortable leaving my car(s) there while we went to Canada, and I don't think I would have liked to try to get my illegal car across the border either. Biggest mistake ever. I managed to get some pictures atleast. Here they are.
The skyline in Niagara Falls, ON is beautiful for the size of the town, about 80,000, unfortunately I don't have any great pictures of it.

Heres some more.
That's pretty much it thats worth seeing because some are similar. I know I'm not a photographer and I wish I had a nicer camera but it was a split second decision and there was no way I was paying $15 for a disposable camera at a stand haha. If there hadn't been so much traffic I would have taken some pictures of the bridges from Buffalo to Niagra Falls. We kinda got lost getting there and got lucky getting out haha...

You are correct, the Canadian side is MUCH nicer than the American side...and has been for at least a decade. You get the Vertigo/Nausea feeling when you were there? I did, but I spent the night before getting hammered in Toronto....
-
Yeah there was defiantely a weird feeling looking at it. I wish I would have had enough time to spend a night or two even in Ontario. We were thinking about driving through TO on the way back but the car thing scared me more than it was worth. I just wish the car would have been in better shape and atleast had license plates on it haha...

have you adjusted the resolution and shit? you have to adjust the light and everything like that just like a normal camera to make it look good...i have a ton of good pics with my phone...its actually quite surprising but everything has to be set perfect or the light has to be perfect

Yup. Here is an interesting site with the V710 hacks.
