Las Vegas: Shooting it Like a Pro

In an effort to rejeuvenate Las Vegas's seedy downtown, in the 1990s the city erected a family-friendly four-block promenade with a programmable video display roof. To get the best pictures here, Muscionico says you should wait until the video — displayed on the roof several times a night — leans toward bright colors. Because the rest of the street will be completely dark — the casinos on either side of the street turn off their exterior lights every time a show is displayed — you'll have to rely on the projected light to get a good exposure. For this shot, Muscionico used an aperture of f5, and a 1/50-second shutter speed.
