I recently had a great time visiting my son Kane where he now lives - Las Vegas, Nevada! We went on many little adventures around the Vegas area, one of the evenings we hit the strip, of course. And I, of course, brought my camera...
Kane watched my back while I got into photography mode, where I am able to shoot and completely ignore the thousands of people around me. Thank you, Kane!
ICM (intentional camera movement) is my technique of choice when around bright fun city lights. There are millions of regular photos of the strip out there, I wanted to capture something somewhat different.
These photos below were shot with a Canon R5 Mark II and a 24-105mm lens. The camera's ISO was 50, the lens aperture was around f/5.0, and the photos were about a half a second long. The longer exposure allows me time to zoom the lens in or out, and move the camera a bit. When dialed in, it can create an artsy acid trip look that I have a great time shooting. And I love the way these look as large fine art prints.
They are all currently available as prints and photo gift items on my website: www.truckeetahoephotos.com/las-vegas-lights-gallery
Thank you for looking, I hope you enjoyed seeing these as much as I enjoyed shooting them!
