Isnt it beautiful there. I love staying at the Bellagio and dining there, phenomenal facility

[EyeBrock]

The food was the best I have ever had! Cool place Vegas.

[TattoodGirl]

The food is AMAZING!!!

I am not much for gambling, but you can see show pretty cool shows and its so much fun there...especially the rollercoaster at the Stratosphere

I am going back in March...I really cant wait, such a good deal for a nice little break.

[EyeBrock]

I don't gamble either, but the shows and food are the best. Plus I've never seen so many strange looking people in one place before......!

[TattoodGirl]

I hear you!!!....we sat and people watched for quite some time one evening...it was a blast. I think some of those people were people traveling with me however

and if you want Cheez, Vegas has it all...I love some of the cheezy shows. The heli tours are spectacular as well.

[TattoodGirl]

I have to recommend Memphis as well if you want to see some strange folk...most on Beale Street and at Graceland

[EyeBrock]

I was contemplating a heli tour but on the FM forum, local Vegas photogs were not very positive about the safety record and the seating arrangements. To get good shots through pexi-glass is hard and an IS lens is a must apparently. I have the 24-105 IS but it's not my favourite on the 20D.

Last time I was in vegas Flip wilson was playing at Ceasers palace,I took in the show and stole a bottle of champagne.

He did a great Geraldine as usuall

Very nice start.

By the way, get a big portable harddrive - you're going to need it.

It's good to take some courses...Learn the equipment and all. But to learn to take pics, you have to start to look at the world differently. Don't just go around looking like you always have. Look deeper, look past what you normally see. Don't just try and be artsy either, those pictures tend to turn out pretentious. Train your eyes to see pictures....it takes time and with a digital...you can learn it cause you can take a million shots and see what works and what doesn't. The ones that don't ...delete...

Also, don't buy any photography books for a while...they just tends to make you look for pictures that someone else has already taken....
