Between the two golf courses is the Las Vegas Convention Center (washed out). Behind your vent window is the top of the Venetian Hotel, with the roof of the Sands Convention Center behind it. any questions on the other pictures.. let me know.

I had the wrong setting on the camera and they were over exposed. I was solo so couldnt get the settings changed, I al going to get some better ones as soon as I can get my wife to go up with me. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – The images appear to be badly over-exposed, as you noticed. I would suggest bracketing your exposures for better results. Don’t think that the pictures are ruined, though. You can correct for a lot with a good photo editor. You might also consider using a longer lens. This will narrow the field of view and help keep the wing out of the picture. It also helps to slip the airplane a little so that the wing is moved further back out of the picture. I think with some cropping, exposure and color balance adjustment you just might have some pretty good pictures there. Looking forward to the next batch.

Thanks, Jeff. Those are great photos none the less and I sure miss Las Vegas. Being in Canada, I really appreciate how nice the southern desert area of the US is. Truly a great place to live and fly.
