Vegas Vacation

It was a much needed vacation. Work has been pretty hectic and this have been getting pretty intense, so it was nice to get away for a few days. I took a few days off and took my girlfriend to the relaxing city of Las Vegas. Ya, it's not that relaxing, but it was fun. We got to visit some of her friends and I got to hang out for a few hours at the pool.

We did take my camera to grab a couple of shots of the hotel we were staying in. Yea, that's right, we stayed in the Bellagio! It was super nice. I was so excited because the fountains at Bellagio are my favorite part of Las Vegas. We even had a lake-view room. The shot above was taken from our room. We got to watch the fountains every night during our vacation.

She even indulged my eagerness to take some photos of the fountains. I wanted to get a great photo from the front of Bellagio to get a straight shot. I was worried it was too packed to squeeze in. Lucky, we got there just after one of the fountain shows (they go off every 15 minutes at night). We set up and started shooting during the 3 minute show. I was making adjustments the entire time to get a few different looks throughout the song.

I got two photos that I enjoyed. The one above I converted to black and white. I liked the details in this photo and didn't want the color to distract from the water. I liked the fountains in this next photo.

We had a great time and I'm sure we will return, I'm just not sure we'll get to stay in the Bellagio again.
