Paris Las Vegas
The Paris Las Vegas replica Eiffel Tower is one of the most recognizable structures on the Strip, and its illuminated facade makes it a natural target for night photography. The tower glows brilliantly after dark, and the surrounding streetscape, with the Bellagio fountains directly across the street, gives you strong foreground options and layered compositions. Shooting from the Bellagio side of Las Vegas Boulevard lets you frame the tower with the fountains in the foreground, especially effective during a fountain show. A 24-70mm lens covers most angles well, though a wider lens helps when you are standing close beneath the tower itself. The Arc de Triomphe replica near the entrance adds a secondary architectural element worth including in tighter compositions. Blue hour, just after sunset, balances the ambient sky against the building's lights and tends to give the cleanest results. (Paradise, Nevada, United States)
