The Egyptian Hotel, Las Vegas, USA

The Story

 

As part of a three week Road Trip to the USA last summer our journey took us to Las Vegas.

A City full of the most amazing and extravagant hotels and casinos.

One of my favourites was the Egyptian the entrance to which is the subject of this photo. This amazing fountain was located just inside the entrance.

 

The Shot

 

3 exposure shot (-1,0,+1,) from using my D200 and a Nikon 12-24mm lens on a tripod

Opened in Photomatix with detail enhancer set to default.

Then modified using Topaz Adjust , to increase colour and sharpness.

Saturation then boosted and areas of noise reduced.

The noise reduced with Noiseware .

Sensor dust spots and blemishes removed and frame added.
