Black and White Las Vegas

There is so much neon in Las Vegas that there's always a lot of contrast between the lights and shadows, especially at night. Here are a few shots I took on my last visit that I thought looked good in black and white.

These were all taken on or near Fremont in downtown Vegas (as opposed to the Strip). The Fremont Experience is a pedestrian mall of casinos restaurants and souvenir shops with a gigantic awning overhead stretched across about three blocks on which music videos are projected. There's generally a good crowd of people hanging around.

The picture below is somewhat more impressionistic than the others. It's a shot of Natalie riding the Flightline, a cable ride that hangs over the street. She was moving fast enough that I couldn't quite get her in focus, but I think this particular shot turned out pretty well, as far as conveyint the speed and swirl of lights.
