Crowning Madness II

I found Freemont an almost hallucinogenic experience -- and not a pleasant one. I

thought I'd descended into one of Dante's Rings, so have taken an ironic approach

with the photos I took there. I'll be very grateful for your comments.

Thanks,

R.

Your 'artistic license' on steroids!  Very nicely done. It would seem that colour is what it's all about at this location.  I'd be interested in your technique for this one.  Handheld but still for part of the exposure, then a circular movement of the camera for the latter part?  A superior image to your B&W offering in my opinion.  Like I said, I think colour is king here.  Best, Len.

Your right, Len...colour is king in Vegas, which is why I opted for the B&W versions as well: the emperor with no clothes.  I did this by giving the lens a twist as I shot, then played with a couple of Lightroom presets; nothing really tricky about it.  

I was on the old Freemont Strip in Vegas, which I found to be an absolutely dismal place, especially after five days in those incredible deserts.
