Book Description

The Finger Lakes region is an area of unusual beauty highlighted by a remarkable number of glorious waterfalls—some highly visible and majestic and others hidden and subtle—and these photographs are the result of years visiting and revisiting these falls, expertly capturing their changing faces with the changing seasons.

More About the Author

From "The Art of Seeing" to "Ultimate Digital Photo Quality," Derek Doeffinger has written and edited over a dozen how-to photography books and three photo books about upstate New York.

He enjoys exploring the creative aspects of photography and has spent the past two years defining the many ways you can use shutter speed to create eye-grabbing pictures.

When he's not taking pictures, he's thinking about taking pictures. His favorite photo subjects include waterfalls and rodeos.

If you're out taking pictures and see a middle-aged guy taking a picture while running the street, give him a shout.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stunning Beauty in Upstate New York, April 14, 1999
By 
Dr. Stuart A. Rouff (Johnson City, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Waterfalls and Gorges of the Finger Lakes (Paperback)
I live within a hour or two of all these beautiful spots and am ashamed to have only visited a couple. We will use these gorgeous photos as a guidebook for the Spring, Summer and Fall to make certain we don't miss a one.

Why did I think I have to travel far for scenery of this caliber.?

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellant, November 19, 2001
By 
PA Kandt (Ithaca, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Waterfalls and Gorges of the Finger Lakes (Paperback)
While this is a book of wonderful travel photos that reveals the treasures in Upstaters' own backyards, it's more than that.
Doeffinger also provides an 8-page introduction to the geology that created these beauties and the history of their discovery and preservation, plus 4 pages of detailed photographic information--he works at Kodak, for whom he writes photography books. And there's a detailed map section showing all the locations and information on 10 publicly-accessible sites. These include hiking difficulty and time, directions (many of these falls are within State Parks and none say just "at the back of the parking lot"), with special highlights to look for.
I don't think it was meant to be anything beyond what it is: a handsome compilation of the somewhat homey pleasures that Upstate affords to day-trippers, family outings, and homesick ex-pats. It may be too poetic to be the scientific treatise Mordant1 was expecting, and apparantly not up to his photographic standards either, but he does offer some equally deep insights on modern music in his review of the latest Brittney Spears opus.

5.0 out of 5 stars Poetic Beauty, June 2, 2001
This review is from: Waterfalls and Gorges of the Finger Lakes (Paperback)
Splendid. The best of its kind. An exquisite ode to the subtle beauty of this region. This is a photographic essay of extraordinary depth, which whispers the gentle magic of upstate NY. Read it for the sheer love of nature and life, even if you are unfamiliar with this corner of the world.
