Bellagio, Las Vegas
Famous Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. You can see the Ceasar’s Palace in the background. Las Vegas looks best at night (see other photos on this blog) but at times it can look beautiful in day time too. I like this photo for the reflection and the white-grey clouds in the sky. Shot with Nikon D7000 and Nikon 10-24mm lens. January 2011.
Venetian, Las Vegas
I was in Las Vegas for CES 2011. While there I took my new D7000 to shoot some photos of casinos and hotels. D7000 has very good high-ISO performance. At ISO 1100 this photo still shows no noticeable noise. I have tested this camera a fair bit and images with ISO 6400 are quite usable. Shot with Nikon D7000 and Nikon 10-24mm lens.
Focal length: 10mm
Shutter Speed: 1/30s
ISO: 1400
Aperture: 3.5
Camelback Mountain Portrait
I like this ‘portrait’ for the poses three of us are standing in. It reminds me of the movie posters in 80s and 90s where the main characters would be depicted standing next to each other with intense expressions on their faces. Another interesting this about this portrait is the depth of field in the image. This was shot on Camelback Mountain which is really a small hill in the middle of city of Phoenix, Arizona, USA. You can see the city in the background with the horizon way back in the background. January 1999. Shot with Canon EOS Elan IIE and Sigma 28-80mm lens. Camera was in automatic timer mode as there was nobody there to take this photo. My friend Bhushan, Shraddha (wife), and me in this photo.
