Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED
Location: Las Vegas, Nevada
Date: Dec 24, 2005
Aperture: 4.5
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/10

Date Uploaded: Jan 6, 2006

 Shot this from the window of our hotel at the Bilagio. My husband took a nap before dinner and I had fun playing with my new D200! Shot on a tripod. I tool a bunch of pictures from dusk til dark and got some great results. Couldn't decide which to post, but I really liked the colors in this pix. Very basic editing, pretty much adjusted brightness a touch.

This is a way cool shot!! Colors are great, maybe just smidge more space at the bottom, but that's just being nit-picky. Great capture!! Now I have this incredible urge to go to Vegas. :-)

Hey I was just there! Nice shot, my only complaint is that the border might be a tad too much, but hey, IT'S VEGAS BABY!

wow, I guess you get more at the Bellagio than just nice bedsheets! Wonderful perspective. I just wish that there were a bit more at the bottom and less at the top.

What a magical fountain, and it really compliments this nightscape.....

Need to square your image so the Eiffel tower doesn't lean. Pretty dramatic shot though.

Sunset, city, and fountain. Nice job capturing the elements. I wish there was a little more room at the bottom of the image for the fountain to not seem so cramped. Lovely image though.

I was just there and took a similar group of photos. Was this your room's view as well? We were on the 22nd floor and it was still going higher than us. Nice job too by the way.

Really nice photo! I've not often seen photos from Las Vegas during the day so this makes a nice change! I think cropping not so close to the fountain at the bottom would improve the composition slightly.

Nice Vegas skyline photo. Maybe bump up the saturation a little to give the sky a little more "punch"?

Now why couldn't I get a shot like this. Nicely done. BOL

Nice photo of Vegas. I like how you captured the fountain at its height. It frames the surrounding buildings very well. Good sky too.

This has the Wow factor of about 20!!!!! I've never seen this view of Las Vegas. It is PERFECT! Even in a challenge like this, this is a standout. 10
