A single frame: Why and how I captured this shot

The Las Vegas strip, especially at night, is begging to be photographed. Outside of the neon and LED-fueled glitz, it is at its heart, a town in the desert. The late January setting sun lights up the buildings and the mountains.

This is the view from the back of Harrrah’s. It could be any desert oasis town except for the giveaway shadow of the “High Roller” falling across The Sphere.

This light lasted 3 or 4 minutes, before the shadows changed the moment was gone.
