Arrow Join me on my trip - XIV - Just in time for the musical fountains at Bellagio

I had totally forgotten about this, but we are in luck,
we are at the right spot at the right time,
most of the place is taken by others
it's already 8 o'clock and we have about only a minute to look for a good place and set up our cameras..
get ready for the fascinating musical fountains of the Bellagio.










This trip would have been incomplete without these perhaps.
[This is something i found very difficult to shoot without a fast lens and a flash but my tripod saved the day,i got few decent shots. I need to straighten 2nd and 3rd i know to call them decent]

Here's the entire series...

Awesome photos. IHave seen the waterfall shows several times. Usually easiest if you find the perfect spot right after one showing and get ready for the next showing. Truely amazing.

Always a nice photo subject. I live here and have not taken a photo of this fountain, may do so next week as I have visitors from Australia and Singapore. The Chinese new Year display at the Atrium for sure too.
Nice, but I find photo 2 and 3 tilted and need alignment..

Well captured, AC! The dancing waters are fantastic to see! Everyone of the engineers that maintain that feature are certified divers. The robotic water cannons were engineered and designed by the same guy who did the robotics for Jurassic Park. TFS.

Thanks Ella. Thats's true waiting for the next show is perhaps the best thing to do.

You definitely should try to picture these, its great subject at night. it teaches a lot if you focus on the process of shooting.
