I signed up for the last Photowalk Tour (until June 2019) at the Neon Museum in Las Vegas. It's super fun to photograph when the light balance is right. I enjoyed using my Sigma 15mm on a D800. The extra wide FOV works well in the tight spaces.

Those are fantastic. So bright, clear and great color.
Thanks Rick!

Nicely done. I've been there, and capturing great photographs is not as easy as it looks!

Yes, it took some time before I started to get into a groove. A lot of the tour is during the late afternoon, so that gives you some time to try out different lenses and compositions. I thought I could get by with my 16-35mm F4, but it wasn't quite wide enough. Once I put on the Sigma 15mm the world opened up. You have about 20 minutes of great light balance.

Thanks Glenn.

Great images (with a fisheye no less!).
Thanks Aaron, the fish really made it fun to shoot.

Wonderful pictures Alvin.
I was in Las vegas 20 years ago and missed it.
Since then it's on my travel list...

Thank you for showing

Thanks Klaus!

I hadn't been to Vegas for about 20 years prior to my recent visit. I only spent a few hours there to photograph the Neon Museum and had to get back to the Bay Area the next day so it was a short visit.

Vegas has changed a lot in those 20 years. It's more sprawling than I remember.

I will have to revisit. I think there's a lot to photograph besided the Neon Museum.

Alvin, keep in mind that I'm from Germany.
Active neon signs are not allowed here, so the States are completely surprising to me. But Vegas is the best in this direction... :)

Kind regards

I didn't know about neon restriction in Germany. Yes, Vegas is the place for bright lights.
