Las Vegas Prime Document





LAS VEGAS PRIME DOCUMENT



This semester, our class varies its format in that we must shoot all images with the same "prime" lens. Initially, I found it challenging to avoid the instinct to "zoom" the lens to frame the picture. My lens of choice is the Canon 100m 2.8L macro on my Canon 7D. As before, we visit a different Las Vegas site each week to document what we find with our cameras.

CITY CENTER September 29, 2011

The location for our third outing is  the City Center complex and the Cosmopolitan,  the newest resort on the Las Vegas Strip,  again finishing the images in black and white.  City Center includes three major hotels - Aria, Vdara  and The Mandarin Oriental,  the Veer residential towers,  and Crystals,  an upscale shopping mall featuring  designer boutiques and several  restaurants.  This area  is my favorite photo location on  the Las Vegas Strip, featuring distinctive modern architecture and artistic features  throughout  the hotels, shops and restaurants. Most of my images from this week were taken in Crystals  and the Cosmopolitan.  From 300+ images,  it was difficult chosing just 10 to post on the class Flickr group.  My  first pass-thru had 94 picks,  then reduced to 40.  Here are several that are not on Flickr.
