Microcosm/Circa 2021...
Yes, a bit of a play on words, but true nonetheless - the signage is for the Circa Las Vegas. I say microcosm because it is somewhat representative of the city and my compositional mind at the moment.
First, of the city, similar to this frame, there is a whole lot going on, with many things trying to get your attention - people, places, and things, and if one is not careful, it is easy to get distracted...
Relative to my compositional eye and being easily distracted, I really liked the hotel tower in the background, along with everything else going on, but starting with a "full canvas," it was difficult for me to decide on what, and how much, to leave out!
Having the idea of monochrome from the start because of the brightness of the hotel tower, I took a few frames in a hurry, (although not the way I used to in my "spray and pray" days, which came back a little as I shot a lot from a moving vehicle!) and I was able to incorporate it, but it is almost as prominent as the Circa signage.
With that, I ended up with no real subject, and a busy frame, but one that I really liked - the story of my life... Cheers!
