Janine in Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.
This is a larger version of a photo I posted here last winter – I think this has got to be one of the most amazing geological features I have ever stumbled across.
I posting this again as a lead in to say Janine is done updating our main website with photos from our winter travels, and we now have updated sections for Valley of Fire State Park, and Las Vegas.
Las Vegas Strip, Nevada.
Well if I’m going to write about my successful photos, it is only fair that I write about my unsuccessful ones as well.
I have plenty of photos that have never, or rarely sell, so why single out this one? For a few reasons: not only was it somewhat expensive to produce, but at the time, I really thought I had a winner. To add insult to injury, I think I may have missed out on even a far bigger marketing opportunity, but more on that later.Read More
Welcome to Las Vegas sign, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Sorry to disappoint – I don’t have some crazy story about a late night last night!
You see, on June 5th, Warner Bros. is releasing a major motion picture with that name. Like with most movie releases, the actors perform endless promotional interviews telling everyone just how funny the movie is, and how awesome everyone got along during filming. But unlike most motion pictures, this time, the actors will be doing their interviews while sitting in front of a collage of Las Vegas photos, including our above photo of the Las Vegas sign! I think that is pretty cool.
Hopefully it works out better for them then Viva Laughlin!
Bellagio Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada.
Well we have shipped a bunch of gear home, and are now preparing to drive back to California to put our vehicle in storage. We will then make the long flight back to Alaska. The next few days will be very busy so I probably won’t post again until Monday from our home sweet home.
Commitments on both ends of this trip made this our longest trip to date, probably a week or two too long – but it has been very fun and productive! We typically would break this time up into two separate trips, but with the cost of travel from Alaska, it worked a lot better to do one long trip instead of two. It is hard to believe all the places we have visited, from Borrego to Orange County and even Vancouver, Canada – some of those destinations seem like they occurred in an altogether separate trip.
Although I’m leaving at what is shaping up to be a great desert wildfower year, we are really excited to get back to Alaska. March is typically one of my favorite times of year up there – then we will be heading into spring and summer – you can’t beat summer in Alaska! Not to mention, we also have a ton of office work.
We will be updating our collection of Las Vegas photos soon.
Sunset over the Las Vegas Valley, Nevada.
This is another view from the top of the Stratosphere. I was hoping for clouds over the strip – of course they had to move on right at sunset!
Here are more Las Vegas Pictures.
Joey Logano, Las Vegas NASCAR practice.
It is hard to convey just how fast these cars are going – at places, over 190 mph! For this photo I closed the aperture down as far as I could ( F/32), dropped my ISO to 100, and ended up with a shutter speed of 1/25th of a second. I then panned with the car – this left the start finish line along with the background in a nice blur.
Tony Stewart
This was yesterday, just minutes before Tony “Smoke” Stewart qualified for Sunday’s Las Vegas NASCAR race. Given all the demands from media, fans etc., I got the feeling that finally sitting down in the driver seat was probably a welcome quiet escape; I was hoping to capture that in this photo. I used a bit of fill flash to help illuminate Tony inside the dark cockpit.
