I had just bought a new camera and was excited to explore the "Strip" at night. I took this shot at 7:20 pmLighting
Because of all the neon lighting, I particularly wanted to capture a night shotEquipment

I was fascinated by the juxtaposition and scale of the Buildings, and I wanted to capture it at night because of the lighting, making it more dramatic.Editing
In 2005 I downloaded the FastStone image viewer which allowed me to do basic image corrections.In my camera bag

Always be aware of your surroundings, and first and foremost, for me, is composition and lighting. Get to know your camera, by that I mean know it inside out so you are ready to take a shot immediately. Think about what you want to capture and experiment with Shutter speed and Aperture. I set my ISO from the start so I'm only concerned with the other 2 variables. Take lots of photos and study each one to see what you did right and what you did wrong. Learn from professional photographers that you admire.
