Later than usual, but winter is finally here.

The old Lehigh Valley Regional Railroad train station on Court St. Rochester NY.

Now Dinosaur BBQ, a local favorite restaurant, started by three bikers in nearby Syracuse.

A nice smell of freedom in the air.

Nobody does pomp and pageantry quite like the military.

@RescueRanger Sir, if you noticed, I changed the title and focus of this thread since no one else cared to share their own photographs. After 5 pages, I could see I was the only one posting here. No problem, I can continue for a long time all by myself.

An opinion is needed here: if there is any interest at all, I can start adding some more technical details about the photographs taken and the equipment used for any photograph that someone may find interesting enough to ask about.

Otherwise, I find it much easier not to discuss or argue with myself among all the voices in my own head.

Given as you were the most active contributor to this thread, I don't see a problem with it. And yes It would be nice to know more about the ISO, shutter speed etc. So as far as I am concerned, go for it.

ISO is light intensity; shutter speed is the speed for the shutter to shut (which means how much light you are allowing the exposure) Both of which is not used at all in outdoor photography because the ambient is too great. You care about F-stop and focus range if you are taking photo outdoor.

ISO number only useful for saturation of light, while shutter speed is basically what you need to match with your photography strobe. Both are important for indoor/studio photography

The question is aimed at the starter of this thread who has contributed 5 pages of content. Thank you for the lecture, I will wait for VCheng to let us know (those who are generally interested) on what kit he has used, etc.

Taughannock Falls, NY. Taller than Niagara Falls, at 215 feet, it is the tallest single-drop waterfall east of the Rocky Mountains.

Didn’t know that.. how far is it from New York City? I might visit this place one day.

My bad, I don't think 5 lines make a lecture, was thinking you genuinely want to know, apology if I crossed the line, I will shut up.

No no, not at all, that was not a "shut up call" far from it. I am not very educated when it comes to the technicality of photography, that is why I would have enjoyed Vcheng providing a breakdown on what kit he has used etc alongside each photo. That is what i was trying to say but perhaps could have worded it better. No hard feelings from my side.

The pristine Lamar Valley in Yellowstone National Park still gives a glimpse of days gone by.

Started adding this info as above already.

About 250 miles away from NYC, near the beautiful town of Ithaca NY, which makes for a great base to explore the entire Finger Lakes area. I can take you around if we can ever coordinate such a trip. There are scores of such scenic spots here.
