Title: RIT High Falls Big Shot is Done and it's GORGEOUS! (Pardon the Pun)
Post by: patsy6 on 09-Feb-14, 09:33:44 PM
Four thirty second exposures were done, during which us crazy people out on the Pont Du Rennes Bridge painted the gorge and the falls with light from flashlights.  The cameras were located on the roof of the Genesee Brewery's Brew Pub, where the Rochester falcon watchers celebrated a successful fledge season in the fall of 2013.  RIT arranged with Rochester Gas & Electric to be sure that enough water was flowing through the Court Street dam, and also arranged with CSX Corp. to have a train on the trestle.  Finally, a separate lighting team was sent to Broad Street to paint the Erie Canal aqueduct with light. Note that the Times Square Building's wings are in the shot as well.
