Las Vegas and the 14mm

[jbtaylor]

A business trip landed me in Las Vegas. Took 3 lenses and never got outside the hotel. The first set features the Tamron 14mm 2.8 being teamed up with the a900.
Enjoy.

Common area between wings in the hotel.


Main lobby.


The mall inside the hotel.

Very nice. #2, #3 and #4 (lobby and the mall) are the most impressive. Beautiful colors and excellent capture.
I never realized how much fun a really wide angle lens can be, (in good hands )

Thanks Sury.
Everything is big in Vegas. I wanted to show that.

[sury]

Indeed. You have demonstrated it successfully.

Big and artificial, is everything in Las Vegas. : )

Nicely demonstrated in the most minimal respect, JBTaylor.

The lens certainly helped yield in line with yourpurpose.

Thanks for sharing,

The perspective the 14mm on FF gives really shows the grandure of it all. Well chosen and captured!

Thanks folks.
Yes, artificial is a word that comes to mind. It is an unusual feeling being around such "fakeness". Not sure I will ever go back.

One for the road. Or should I say water?

If only the water is not that blue, it would have been very authentic fake. Good testimony to Las Vegas
attempt at creating crass opulence. It is a good thing what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

It's like counterfeit/fake items.
There were similar things in Dubai malls: Chinese court, Indian court, Persian court, Arabian court (well, naturally), Italian one and so forth.
All unreal... but pleasant.

The 14mm 2.8 is a good lens on the A900, but from my 4 years experience with it so far, it is probably the worse performer in the vignetting department (but who don't like vignetting ).

I remember staying in front of the fake place in Las Vegas a few years ago. I was not really understand why people are paying a lot of $$$ to take a trip in the gondoles ...

I think the fakes thing of this shopping mall is the fact that is best place in Venezia there is not a lot of building with only two stories and all at the same level, that should be take in mind of the architect when he designed the place:-).
