    She never looked so pretty!!!! the irony is the quiet beauty in such a city! I love that reflection and the water. How did you get that?

    Really nice exposure!
    When I was there I didn't even think about taking my camera out.

    Probably too busy looking at those cards they handed you on the streets... :D

    Great shot Mahesh! I was going to shoot Vegas at night when I was there earlier this year for a wedding but I didn't have any free time except for one day and I went to Death Valley instead.

    Thank,s Eia! Just before the water show came on, I took a few bracketed exposures to get the the reflection just the way I wanted it. Then I took a few more when the water show started. I blended all the exposures until I was able to achieve the effect I wanted...voila! :D

    Thanks, Danny! See my comment to Eia about my exposure "trick" :D

    Vegas is a great place to photography...you just have to be in the right attitude. :D

    Thanks, bud!

    I'd have picked Death Valley over Vegas too! :D

    Superb shot! I'd love to shoot Vegas at night, but when I go my husband has to drag me from the tables.

    Thanks, Lauren! I grew up in Vegas, so the tables have no particular draw for me. I'd rather see the lights outside the casinos than inside them :D

    I had no idea you were from LV! I was just there and whew, the heat is brutal in August. :( But I admit it's always nice to see the bright shining lights. Vegas can be so pretty at night thumb.gif

    Thanks, Schmoo! Yes, the heat is totally brutal. But, I have to say it (as everyone from that area does)...it's a dry heat! :D
