Hi pentaxian friends,
Here are some of the pictures I took last night on the strip in Las Vegas. All pictures were taken with the K20D. It has to be one of the greatest City for night life.
I couldn't help to take a picture of the EBay slot machines. Maybe I could have won a Pentax camera or equipment. Although it was worth going in the casino to take that picture, I was not-so-gracefully escorted to the door. Hey...whatever it takes to get the picture.
I stayed on the stip till 3:00 A.M. There are some strange people at that time of the night, roaming the streets. Was I lucky not to get mugged? Probably not, there was a lot of security everywhere.
I'm going back for more tonight, so I will leave you with the pictures above.
Thanks for reading and viewing,
Yvon Bourque

Yvon,
Nice photos. I really like the shot of the gondolas at the Venetian. Can you post the photo information on the lens, ISO, shutter speed, and aperture? Are these shots taken with the shake reduction on, or all on a tripod?
I just purchased the K20D and interested/excited to learn how well it performs with night photos. And since my K20 will not arrive until after Christmas I can live vicariously though your shots.
Thanks.
Jim
james,
The gondolas picture was taken with the DA 16-45mm lens set at 28mm. I used ISO 100 for 8 sec @ f/9.0
I did use a tripop with all of my night shots. However, I usually try the same picture at different settings. I do like a smaller aperture as the depth of field is wider.
Because of the dramatic effects it renders, I always prefer long exposure, so moving cars and people do give the sense of movement.
Good luck with your K20D. It's a great camera.
