A pedestrian traffic signal counts down in front of the Plaza hotel and casino in downtown Las Vegas Wednesday, Nov. 25, 2015.
The double pool and bar from my 16th floor hotel room. A little area of detail in the sea of flashing lights of the Strip.
Still in Vegas this morning. Tired from being up all night (another story that would require lots of Corona's for me to tell... and even then most would be a damn lie...)
I shot with two models while here. Both were charming and gorgeous and a delight to shoot. More coming soon from this shoot. Olesea and I encountered overcast so I was digging it and shooting natural bounced light when possible. Light is coming from behind me and is bouncing off a very large light gray building.
Very little Photoshop on Olesea, but a minor fix to show the definition between the wall she is standing in front of and the wall behind. Canon, 200mm.
A night in Vegas with friends. Wish I stayed a bit longer for the Eiffel Tower to light up. May be next time. Thank you for viewing, comments, and faves.
Las Vegas helicopter shot. Only problem was I almost knocked out the pilot with the big Canon 400mm since I was in the back seat. But get the shot at all cost right? Please visit my full site at:
Thanks to joe for the inspiration to flood the parking lot of the Mirage Hotel in Las Vegas. Have a great Thursday, everyone!
Not had much time to get out and take photos recently so thought I would go through some more old stuff and play around with it. It's a crazy brash city so decided it was ok to produce a brash image of it. Won't be to everybody's taste I know but I quite like it!

my tune of the day....
I took this when I flew to Vegas for CES in January, but really it ended up being more of a learning experience for taking night shots from an airplane. I wasn't really paying attention to how close we were to Vegas, and before I knew it, we were minutes away from landing. The flight from San Diego is really quick, and it caught me by surprise. As I noticed the strip I started scrambling to pull out my camera and snap a few shots. Just as I got my first shot the flight attendant gave the instruction to turn off all electronic devices so I had to be quick. I snapped off a few more, but didn't get a chance to chimp and adjust my settings or my lens.
The lens on my camera was the 24-105mm F4, which is not the best option for trying to take night shots from a plane. To be honest I didn't realize it at the time, but it's really easy to get motion blur in a situation like this because of how fast the plane is flying. If (when) I'm in this situation again I will definitely have my 50mm F1.4 at the ready. I'm not sure yet how fast the shutter needs to be to get a clear shot from a plane, but based on my blurry results at 1/125 and 1/60, I would guess it's at least in the 1/250-1/500 range. It's only because of the 5D3's ridiculous ISO capabilities that I got something usable at all.
Despite the shortcomings I still like this image a lot. It's one I've wanted to get for a long time, and now that I know how I can make it better it just makes me want to go back and do it again. If you're flying into Vegas at night my advice would be to be get ready in advance with your fastest lens, crank up the shutter speed to at least 1/250 (the further you are from the ground the more you can tolerate slower shutter speeds), and sit on the left side of the plane. The left side may not give you the views from all departure cities, but from San Diego the strip has been on the left both times I've flown into Las Vegas.
Las Vegas, dont on reconnaît le célèbre strip où se concentre la vie nocturne. Chacun y reconnaîtra son casino, son hôtel et sa piscine préférée.
Las Vegas at night, you can make out the strip, the boulevard where the casinos light up the night. Do you see your favorite hotel and swimming pool?

Las Vegas, colloquially referred to as Vegas, is the most populous city in the U.S. state of Nevada and the seat of Clark County. The Las Vegas Valley metropolitan area is the largest within the greater Mojave Desert, and second-largest in the Southwestern United States. Las Vegas is an internationally renowned major resort city, known primarily for its gambling, shopping, fine dining, entertainment, and nightlife, with most venues centered on downtown Las Vegas and more to the Las Vegas Strip just outside city limits. The Las Vegas Valley as a whole serves as the leading financial, commercial, and cultural center for Nevada. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city had 641,903 residents in 2020, with a metropolitan population of 2,227,053, making it the 25th-most populous city in the United States.
The city bills itself as the Entertainment Capital of the World, and is famous for its luxurious and extremely large casino-hotels. With over 40.8 million visitors annually as of 2023, Las Vegas is one of the most visited cities in the United States. It is a top-three U.S. destination for business conventions and a global leader in the hospitality industry, claiming more AAA Five Diamond hotels than any other city in the world. Las Vegas annually ranks as one of the world's most visited tourist destinations. The city's tolerance for numerous forms of adult entertainment has earned it the nickname "Sin City", and has made Las Vegas a popular setting for literature, films, television programs, commercials and music videos.
Las Vegas was settled in 1905 and officially incorporated in 1911. At the close of the 20th century, it was the most populated North American city founded within that century (a similar distinction was earned by Chicago in the 19th century). Population growth has accelerated since the 1960s and into the 21st century, and between 1990 and 2000 the population nearly doubled, increasing by 85.2%. As with most major metropolitan areas, the name of the primary city ("Las Vegas" in this case) is often used to describe areas beyond official city limits. In the case of Las Vegas, this especially applies to the areas on and near the Strip, which are actually in the unincorporated communities of Paradise and Winchester.
