The Mirage - a photo on Flickriver

The Mirage

            By far my favorite photograph out of all my Las Vegas pictures! There's a crazy story behind it too.

This shot was on my list of spots to photograph and I remembered to visit it after shooting the Venetian. While setting up, a tourist asked me if there was going to be a show or something, because of all the people hanging out in front of the Mirage. I looked over, it wasn't crowded at all and I told the guy, "no, they don't have a show." I took all my shots with different exposures like I always do and I was ready to pack up. Suddenly another tourist approached me to ask where he can get on the bus. He barely spoke english and I helped him the best I could. Suddenly I see more and more people coming to the Mirage and I begin to see the Volcano starting its fire routine. I completely forgot about the Volcano show! Thankfully I was still setup in the exact position so I was able to add the volcano to my final shot. It was also the last show of the night [9pm], so I lucked out. Or should I say I got the help from God on this one!
