Las Vegas at night

Vegas never sleeps! You can walk onto the strip any time of day or night, and there are people walking around, street performers and traffic.

This street performer is one of the best acrobats I have ever seen. I can only assume that he used to work for one of the Circ de Soleil shows, because he was astonishing. I could not believe the positions that he put himself into.

The strip at about 10pm on a Sunday night, note the bumper to bumper traffic. I also love the hotel on the top right; it reminds me of the matrix.

This hot air balloon is outside the Paris hotel, one of the Vegas landmarks.

These retro signs are found outside many of the casino’s. It really reminds me of the old James Bond movies.

Finally, the entrance to Bally’s Hotel. The red lighting continuously merges into different colours, so you can probably shoot whatever colour you want if you have patience.

Bally’s Hotel

It is really hot in Vegas at the moment, about 35 degrees or so. So while it might look lazy to use these moving travellators, it simply gets far too hot in the heat of Vegas to walk around everywhere. So you find yourself taking every shortcut possible to remain a little cooler, such as using the covered walkways and taking shortcuts through the hotels.

The Green Beetle

I spotted this old Bettle parted at the beach in Muizenberg, and had to shoot it. The car was in excellent condition, and was clearly looked after. The Beetle is still a classic such a lovely design.

Accordion (revised)

This shot is a tighter crop of a shot that I took a few months ago of a child’s accordion. I think I prefer this version, what do you think?

Jack Daniels

This is one of my first HDR photos, an empty bottle of Jack Daniles; Uncle Jack to some. I don’t think that this is how I will be celebrating the end of the week, perhaps a glass of wine will be in order.
