[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my first attempts using various shutter speeds at night to capture the mood of Las Vegas and it's bright lights. I was trying to capture the Paris in Las Vegas theme using the fake Eiffel Tower and road sign saying Las Vegas Blvd. The two telescreens gave me the theme to name this "Everything's Sexier in Paris as the right hand screen has this up on its screen (it's not clear here) while the right hand screen has the couple kissing seductively.
Sharpened the image in PS and added some slight saturation to the image.

Hey,
Great shot! I love the theme of this photo - lights action and romance! Its full of color, the action is captured and framed well, and the subjects arent blurred.
Nice work,
Dave

Hi there - You've done well for your first night shot. What a place to do it in as well! The city of night! Vegas! It looks like you could have even had a longer shutter speed...Then you would have caught just red tail lights. Very well done. Rgds, Leilani

Hi Jim

I like your composition here, with a deliberate decision to include the Las Vagas Blvd street sign. Was the street really like in your photo without a single soul? or is it due to the slow shutter speed.
Good work

Ha, very funny! Those guys in Vegas don't even need to visit Europe it seems, they've already got it all there!

I think it's quite a successful long exposure photo, Jim. I like the way you composed the frame, placing the main elements nicely. Great light effects!

Well captured detail of LV Jim. Good light handling brings out lots of details in this most surrealistic setting. Well seen
