The Palazzo, Las Vegas, Nevada

I could go to Vegas just for the architecture. The structures men build are

phenomenal. But the airport is a gateway to Zion National Park so I usually do

both at the same time. Great shows, great food, and quite the assortment of

architecture. Thanks for looking.

Best regards, Dominick!

Excellent shot with the sharp details and the nice lighting.  Love it.  Best Regards,

Such creativity devised by man, almost surreal to the point where I half expect it to take off into the night sky! 

The name keeps it firmly anchored to the ground! 

Compliments!

Dominick,

 I visited Las Vegas for the first time this year and, like you, am just blown away by the architecture. I don't know much about fisheye lenses but love how the mass of the tower just fades away while the foreground is very solid. 

I'm going to study the data on your other shots as well.  Maybe my next visit will produce better shots!

Hi Dominick,

  Beautiful building with wonderful lighting & details.  Take care, Patsy

Very impressive! Well done.

Hi Dominick,

A good use of this Canon Fisheye.

Upon examination, the 15 mm  even at F/6.7 shows chromatic aberration often associated with extreme wide angle lens. At night, I shot this lens at F/2.8 because the chromatic aberration is no stronger, yet the clarity level is improved because of the f-stop. Many times, in astrophotography, this Fisheye and others that I own work well as "All Sky " cameras to capture meteor events and other very wide field captures. The color aberration often becomes "lost" in the background noise, and upon using a noise reduction routine, the color error is reduced as well.

I have tested this lens stopped further down (to F/11) and some chromatic aberration becomes controlled, but at the cost of further definition loss due to the excessive f-stop.

When shooting in RAW or even High JPEG, there are methods that can be employed to avoid the "blue fringing" around the white edges seen at the top of this building structure.

Best Regards, Mike

Beautifully photographed with an almost abstract component in the composition, bravo.
