City Center

City Center in Las Vegas is fairly spectacular.  Encompassing God Knows How Many square blocks it’s nestled between the Bellagio and Monte Carlo.  Home to hotels, casinos, shopping, commercial space, and condos/apartments it’s truly a sight to behold. 

And an absolute playground for a photographer with an interest in shooting any type of architecture.  Had a couple of posts from the Aria earlier with this in mind.

Still making my way through photos from the trip.  These are some more that stood out for me with hopefully others to come.

Vegas, Too

The view from the Bellagio when we first arrived.  Beautiful sunset and sky.  Believe it or not the colors aren’t overly juiced here – they really were this vivid.

Waking Up in Vegas

Trying to pick at my photos from our trip to Las Vegas last month.  So behind.  This is an HDR shot from our Window early in the morning.  Blended from three different exposures, with my lens jammed tight against the glass, the scene looks little different than it would early evening.  Nobody EVER shuts the lights off in that town.

Ever.

This is looking out from the Bellagio over their “lake” and across the street at Paris.

Crisp

Winter.

I have no problems with it so long as it’s sunny.  Cloudy winters?  Pass.  Rainy winters?  Buh-bye.  Give me a clear, blue, crisp sunny winter day.  And where there is hoar frost as part of the equation all the better.  Had one of those today.

Beautiful.


Tree Fog

Foggy all day here.  And, being Thursday, I’m on garbage/recycling duty.  And so as I walk outside I can’t help but notice how nice the glow from overhead streetlamp looks backlighting our frosted tree.

Had to grab the rig and take a few frames, knowing they were destined for B&W.
