Photograph the dramatic Lockport double flight locks, stone masonry, canal towpaths and the Discovery Center’s industrial-era exhibits. Strong leading lines, reflections and moving water make for dynamic compositions. Best at golden hour or blue hour for warm side-light and colorful skies; fall brings vivid foliage. Weekday mornings are quieter. Outdoor areas and canal towpath are freely accessible; museum exhibits may require paid entry. Street parking and a small lot nearby; wheelchair-access.
