Ferry ride

Shooting details: iPhone 14 Pro Max, f/1.8, 1/440sec, ISO-80, 6.86mm

On an Edmonds-Kingston ferry boat taking us to Kingston, WA. You get to be at the front of the line when onboarding onto the ferry if you are riding a motorcycle. The line for cars had over 2 hour wait. But we got to go first and also at the front of the ferry with an awesome view!

New York New York, Las Vegas

A popular photo spot opposite the New York New York hotel in Las Vegas. I had taken same photo some 12 years ago at the same spot. Compare to notice the advances in technology. I had to work a lot on old photo (shot with film camera and then scanned negative) to remove noise, get correct white balance and remove some blemishes on the negative. This time around you see pretty much exactly what came out of my camera (digital this time) with only cropping and color cast removal. Shot with Nikon D90 and Nikon 18-200mm VR lens without a tripod.

Bellagio, Las Vegas

A lucky shot in the fading daylight while we were having dinner in a outdoor restaurant opposite Bellagio. Believe it or not, I have not done any retouching on this photo beyond a simple crop and some noise reduction. The colors are as they came out of camera. I use +3 Vivid setting all the time. Shot with Nikon D90 and Nikon 18-200mm VR lens, handheld.
