A technical challenge here was capturing the Bellagio fountain, which is split in half across the two shifted captures. Because the fountain changes continuously, it was hard to make two captures that could sensibly stitch together. After some trial and error, I ended up capturing them 15 minutes apart at about the same point during successive fountain “shows”.
This is part of a series of two identically framed images of Vegas. This one, at night, shows the strip at its best, such as it is, with the lights and excess at least hinting at some sense of glamor and excitement. The other, made during the day, shows the strip at its most depressing, looking like a failed mega-mall and theme park that you might find along a forgotten exit on an interstate highway.
