GOING FOR LINES

So I'm sharing a few lines from Vegas ... yeah.. I know, you're probably tired of seeing Vegas shots but I finally got my laptop from work and I can work on them...and on an order I've had since I returned :( which I've yet to process. Anyway, I think it's just in my nature. I'm drawn to lines. It doesn't matter what I'm shooting, I tend to find lines in the stuff I see...




1. Lines at the M&M Store. Yup. Those containers are filled with nothing but plain m&m's and you buy them by the pound in whatever color you'd like.

ISO 1600, Manual mode, 18-55 mm lens @ 25mm, AV f/5, SS 1/100.

Same shot but ran through NR


2. The entrance (pathway) leading to the 'main' entrance at the Luxor Hotel. This shot was hard because people wouldn't get out of my way...and I was getting tired of kneeling...I'm getting old I tell 'ya .

ISO 100, Manual Mode, 18-55mm lens @ 33mm, AV f/5.6, SS 1/1000


3. & 4 are shots of the entrance to Bally's. We were waiting for a bus to take us to the other end of the strip but were too tired to walk anymore...and what do you know, I turn around and there's this beautiful.....stuff...with lights and lines...so I just had to shoot... I know it may not make much sense but it's just ME ...

ISO 1600, Manual Mode, 50mm lens, AV f/5, SS 1/40

Same shot ran through NR

ISO 1600, Manual Mode, 50mm lens, AV f/5, SS 1/320

Same shot ran through NR

PP includes resizing 4x6 @ 150 ppi. No other PP done.
Let's hear your HHCC on them (please).

OOps...forgot to add that I am not tired of your Vegas photos yet. I've never been there but have always wanted to go, so I love getting a glimpse of it through your photos.

I gotta go to the M&M store some day! But how do you narrow it down? I think that's the point, isn't it?

The last two photos of the lights are awesome. I really like the green one. It's a cool angle and I love that I had no idea what it was. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, you do seem to have a thing for lines. But they're all so cool! Your pictures are really making me want to take a trip to Vegas. I've never been there but think it'd be so cool!

I'd blame the lines thing on your math orientation.
The M&M's looks like a fun place to shop- but deadly.
I like the lion shot, but the blue florescent is my fave. I definaetly like them better run through NR.
