Las Vegas, NV (Part 2)

While we were in LV, I took SO many pictures (big surprise there, huh) that I had to unload about 80% of them onto Warren's computer so that I could have space to take more photos. I didn't get those photos until Christmas Eve...which is why, about a month later, I'm posting more photos of my trip out West!

The highlight of the trip was by far Hoover Dam.....but the Dam photos don't take much technique and aren't all that exciting to look at. *wink*

One of the nights, I set up my Gorillapod (highly recommended if you don't have one, by the way), on one of the posts by the Bellagio and we stayed for two of the Water shows. It was night, so I played around a lot with shutter speed and aperture trying to see what I could come up with. This is one of my favorites. I love the trailing water and the highlight from the lights on the water from below.

My other favorite is an every day shot. I've been trying to think out of my box a little when it comes to angles and perspectives...and tried this shot of the Eiffel tower from the sidewalk level (my camera was on the sidewalk), looking up at the Tower. I think it shows how big it is, and what the perspective is like if you were actually there looking at it (more interesting than a straight on shot, I think). I wish that I had a wider lens to pick up more of the tower and sky and/or that I could've dug myself a hole on the sidewalk to get further away from it!

More to come soon...I hope to get outside and play in the snow and take some cook macros!
