Amazing! You've just inspired me to do a nighttime photo tour of Downtown Scranton, PA as soon as the weather improves a bit in 2009. Wonderful! You are quite a photogenic genius if I do say so myself! Now all I have to do is figure out how to take good nighttime pictures using a lower-end Kodak EasyShare digital camera (we college students are too poor to afford professional cameras).  I would love to visit Buffalo someday. I've already done photo tours of Binghamton, Ithaca, Callicoon, and Narrowsburg, but I've been dying to get further west in Upstate NY. For all the hemming and hawing you people do about how much New York "sucks," not enough of you give credit to the beauty all around you. Great work! |

Thank you greatly for your kind words  , as I must say it is much different and more exciting and amusing to take pictures at night in any city rather than the day. You can get the hang of it quite easily once you try different modes, etc on your camera - ( it really doesn't matter too much on the type of camera you have, - as long as you keep your camera steady on a tripod and let enough light in  ).
I love my city of Buffalo - and I also LOVE to show it off in pictures. In the various pictures I take of Downtown Buffalo, NY, I try and make sure I take the best ones from the many I took - and post them on websites like these - then people can see how beautiful Buffalo, New York really is!!!
The many Buffalonians up here are eager to have people like you come and visit us - Buffalo is a great city albeit its problems - the good levels out the bad  .

Amazing pictures. Well done!!! I do love our city.
A bit OT, but my husband and I are considering buying a SLR camera and am wondering why you bought a Canon vs. Nikon. We haven't decided what to get yet...just starting to research and am curious about your selection. Please feel free to DM me if you don't want to clog up your thread I absolutely would appreciate your insight though! |

Questions like this are [SIZE=2]absolutely appropriate, and I am glad to answer them . I have trusted Canon Cameras for my entire life - they are reliable and seem more competitive to have the better features, etc than Nikon. Nikons are perfectly just as good as many Canon Cameras, IMO, however it seems to me that Canon is stepping it up (especially recently) and is coming through some really great cameras - like my Canon EOS 50D. Many SLR cameras are exceptional and very well made. [/SIZE]
Please understand that this is just my opinion - I am no "expert" on subjects like these, and just as FedupWNY said, you can take these questions to the photography forum on City-data and you will get some very helpful replies - I can assure you that.
And, for all I know, there are probably a lot of great Nikon cameras that are better than the various Canons. But, as for myself, I will always use my trusted Canons - (I'm on my third Canon Camera currently ).
SLR cameras are great, do your research and make sure you get a good one! Looking forward to hearing what (and if) the kind of camera you do get is what you were looking for, etc.
Oh, and taking pictures of our city is the best type of photography IMHO  .
HTH!
