Sep. 8: Mandalay Bay

Las Vegas, NV


There are over 3000 people attending this NAPP conference/expo. I’ve had great chats with several, ranging from novice photographers to old timers. I even met a guy who doesn’t even own a camera; he works mostly in Illustrator.

Tons of learning today … difficult to summarize. The only thing I applied from today was to correct the perspective on this shot of the Hotel (which is a HUGE facility) along with some color correction.

I’m glad I came. I’m worn down to a nubbin. Tomorrow is the last day. Then I have to read all the books (they do a great job of backing up the workshops with printed material) and then to practice, practice, and practice.

Nice light and capture, Have you gone to the shark tanks?

Did you use the cropping perspective tool here. I learned that in my class back in May. Really a cool tool, huh. That other perspective tool with a grid is a mind blower too. I think your best gain from this was your studio lighting. Stand by, my friend. I'll be calling to pick you brain on that.

I love the word "nubbin" it really is underutilized.
The first thing I thought when I saw this shot was that wow, her really has no perspective distortion. Cudos on being a good student!
