Default One more night in Miami Beach . . .

. . . and this will be the last of the night shots on Miami Beach. I really like the perspective on this first shot, and the colors of the neon came out pretty good.

DSC_5826

Nikon D80
8 secs
f/14
18mm
ISO 100


An iconic shot of the "Colony" (or in my case "olony") Hotal and the Boulevard Hotel. I like the contrasting blue and red neon lights. I think the light trails also came out nice on this one.

Hey bgg,

Yes many of the hotels have neon lighting on their buildings. I think part of the reason is that it is an historic district. Many of the buildings were built in the 30's when Neon lighting was the "new thing", therefore, as the building are remodeled, they are remodeld to how they looked in the 30's.
