Las Vegas at Night (Kinda)

One night, while at WPPI earlier this month, I was in my room overlooking the beautiful Hooters Hotel and Casino when I got this sudden inspiration for an image.

I know this isn’t anything new, but to me it was. I was trying to get a rear flash type of image without the flash. I put the camera on a tripod, set the shutter speed at about 10 seconds, and opened the shutter. after counting to about 8, I started to pan or move the camera until the shutter closed. Yes, I realize that is the opposite of a rear flash type of image, but the intent was to get something similar.

The first one was really just a pan and the second was one of my first tries. The bottom two were two of my more successful attempts.

I know these aren’t perfect yet, but they are the start of an idea.

Please let me know what you think. Your comments are always appreciated.
