The Photography 101 course has its benefits.

 As we start the 2nd week of the Fall 2022 semester I learned that I can rent lenses from College of Southern Nevada for no fee and I picked up the largest one they had. This lens is a Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS III USM. It features the latest high end magnification from 70mm-200mm which is a great fit for street photography without the lens reaching too far lengthwise unlike a wildlife lens which start at 200mm up to 600mm.

Once again I head to Fremont Street for a few test practice photos and these turned out nice.


I really like how his glasses reflected the entire background behind me.



This is the most tame costumed street performer I've seen

While out I am more observant of people with cameras like mine and how much more invested they are than I am

  3. Amazing pictures. I can't wait to see more. Hopefully you can tell me more about the class tomorrow. I love the praying mantis picture. I remember being there last year with my oldest daughter and her fiend. Thank you for sharing your photos.

  5. I've never seen a two-story bus - it would definitely be cool to be able to ride one. I've actually never visited any of these places as well, so it's nice to see different parts of Vegas.

  19. Oh, wow that is amazing and you take awesome pictures. If you have time maybe one day, we can get together for a photo shoot, I see a lot of your pictures are of people and cityscapes (I think that's what it's called.) do you take photos of cars and at car meets?
