Great picture Ron!
I was wondering, you probably took this picture with a tripod and I wonder if you have any problems using a tripod in these places. Do security or other personnel give you any problems or do you always get a press card?
Is there a general rule as in places where a tripod is an absolute nono and places they really don’t care?
Cheers,
Kris
Wow Ron. Both for the view and for taking a travel picture w/o Janine in there!
Hey Ron,
Nice photo, bud.
Richard, Janine was probably on the phone making more sales.
Cheers
Carl
Hi Kris,
You know I tried to take a tripod up here before, and they wouldn’t let me, so I didn’t even try this time. I bumped the iso up to about 1600 and went with that. Funny, a young couple asked me to take there picture with their camera, and that was when I realized the light inside and out was about even, and that this image would work.
In general, I always try to take may tripod, and let them tell me no – and that seems to happen more and more.
Richard and Carl – that is really funny, because she was back taking care of business! I could have really used her for this image. And, later that night I had a nice open stretch of railing with a cool lamp in front of the fountains at the Bellagio – it would have been perfect having her standing there as well. I think she was getting bored with the long nights walking the strip in which I didn’t need her, and I can’t blame her.
Thanks!
Nice photo Ron! Its interesting in that I would normally prefer a view of nature, but the gold in this image makes it look so inviting. I wonder if I am part Egyptian.
Thanks Mark – the gold may look inviting, but don’t bring your gold to this town, it probably won’t last long!
