Vegas Baby

[HDNitehawk]

A few months back the wife and I took a trip to Vegas. My goal was to capture the Vegas Lights.....tough goal I found out. While I did get some fair pics along those lines (not enough to show) I got a few other types as well.


All but one of these pics were taken with the 5D Mark II and the 35mm F1.4L. Many of them were taken off the top of double decker tour bus in motion (you will notice the tops of peoples heads)


Comments are welcome (keeping in mind these are not presented as great photographic works...or anything close) .......


And if you know how to take pictures of all the lights without loosing all the colors...tips are welcome...





And if you got Vegas pictures ....Lets see them as well...

All in all, lots of different photography opportunities within driving distance.

Maybe next trip I will take my 500mm and 2x converter and head up to area 51....


That last shot Kayaker72 at Hoover..... I don't think I could have gotten that picture at all... its a long way down.

Cool shot of the Wynn. But my favorite is the Stratosphere...asked my wife to marry me at the base of the tower. []

[] Yep...those buildings down at the bottom are actually multiple stories tall......it is a really cool place...

My favorite is the Stratosphere, but I also like the way you captured the Wynn.


Good job,
