Bellagio Fountain, Las Vegas

Not the usual view, looking at the hotel itself, but taken from the front of the hotel looking over to Paris.

Taken handheld and in the midst of a crowd too - thank you Sony and your inbuilt IS!!

Sony A700 with 16-105 lens

Well that's a cracker. I think that's the first time I've seen that view in a photo, so well done!

Re: Bellagio Fountain, Las Vegas

Very good indeed, adding something different with the tower. What settings did you use?

Re: Bellagio Fountain, Las Vegas

Very nice shot and unusual to see one taken facing the Paris Hotel rather than looking in the towards the Bellagio
