But, in this new Age of Instant Digital Photography, the huge batches of photos still need to be processed
and organized into meaningful segments. As for low-light digital photography, it presents a major problem
for me since I use an antiquated 2004 digital camera. It can't photograph and render all the low-light scenery
encountered in shooting inside a new Las Vegas hotel. Hence my need to process this huge batch of photos.
As far as posting all these photos. Well. I'm not going to just throw them up on a few unorganized webpages in
some random order. Nor am I going to post a bunch of thumbnails that people rarely take time to click to see in full
view. I didn't become a photographer, 40 years ago, to make postage-stamp sized photos for webbies to look at
or complain about. This whole "photography thing" is something very meaningful to me. I do this for myself, for
reasons unfathomable to any one else. If you care to view what I do, that's fine. If you don't, that's fine too.
So. What I'm doing is presenting my Cosmo photos in an ordered way on probably about 25 separate webpages
that will be posted over the next few weeks. Each page will show a different area of the hotel and be placed in
categorized parts such as an entire section on Chandelier Bar, The Center Bar (as seen on this page), the Main
Pool (as will be shown on three pages), the Casino Floor, the Vesper Bar, Bond, all Restaurants, the Front
Entrance, the Vehicle Entrance, etc, etc. Each photo will be placed into some type of logical order over the
next upcoming days. It should be interesting. I'm gona love doing it and viewing it. Whether or not you do is
up to you. I really don't care either way. Like I said. I do this for me, with no need or intention to sell anyone
anything or to try to please them in any way. Quite honestly, I can't even afford the bandwidth usage.
Anyhow. Feel free to take a look at these photos if you care to. I ain't gonna stop you.
I had to use HDR (High-Dynamic Range) photography on this photo in order to show the areas that normally would
only be seen as deep shadows. HDR is somewhat of a photographic trade-off in the option of choosing between
presenting a "pretty" photo versus a more "informative" one. In most instances I try showing the more
"informative" style of photos for the sake of the visitors that like visiting this website.
I'll honestly tell you something. Making "pretty pictures" isn't actually my goal on this website. Anytime a
person tries photographing outdoors in Las Vegas, deep shadows and darkness are issues that need to be dealt
with. Sometimes you'll see lots of HDR in my pictures & other times you won't. I chose as the situation requires.
Next week I'll be posting two or three more pages that show the Main Pool and the views that can be seen of
the Strip from this veranda deck. Please return again if you want, because the Main Pool is a great sight to see.
