Las Vegas ~ TR-5

So with 5 days to go, i think i got my heat acclimatization down. The temperature has been a steady 108 degrees in las vegas. Last night i was driving down the strip and at 11pm it was still over 100.

I lost a bit of money playing the slot machines over the first few days so i decided to try my hand at shooting. I recently picked up a new tripod head designed for tracking the stars with a telescope, but with a bit of customization i am using it to add motion to a timelapse. Here is my first attempt. Hopefully i will be able to shoot a bunch more over the trip, I will post a few samplings here, but once i get back i will put together a whole video with all of the best ones.



Interestingly enough, the night before I left, the card counting movie "21" was on TV, so being inspired to make my millions I brushed up on my card counting skills and put them to work. I didn't make millions but i was able to do win back most of what i lost the first few nights. When i return on my way home i will see if this luck continues.
