Vegas City Lights

When we came to Vegas and found a nice little condo to move into, we discovered at night we could see the lights from The Strip quite well. We're in a second story unit, and there's an undeveloped piece of property straight across from us, which affords our little porch quite a view.

A couple weeks back we were trying to get a good night shot of the lights, which of course requires leaving the shutter open a couple seconds. Works great...if you're not trying to get a baby to hold still! Thought we'd share the fun in getting Pratt to not blur out.
After a few attempts, he held fairly still, and with a little color correction it came out nicely. You can even see the light shooting up from the Luxor over Janae's shoulder. 6 miles away is just the right view for us, we wouldn't want to be any closer!

  2. How fun! What brought you guys to Vegas? My sister lived there for a few years and loved it. She was about thirty minutes from the Strip though, thus the appeal of living in Vegas but not of Vegas. ;)
