Gondola!

At the Venetian Hotel the have a gondola ride that you can take that goes around the shopping area and outside! Its piloted by a gentleman singing and telling jokes! Sounds cheesy but it was actually a lot of fun!
Good thing these things seat 5! After all, I did have my 4ft drink with me! ;o)

[Kerri]

Very cool shot

[Angelique]

This is so great! The colors are beautiful and the focal draws you in from the tip of the boat right through the arches! Wonderful movement!

[Aaron]

Great shot, love it! Fave!

[Aleksandra]

Awesome shot! Sounds like you're having a brilliant time!

[Robyn]

Suh-weet! :)

[Susan T]

Awesome shot, Jerry! I've always wanted to do this and just never have. Great perspective and movement blur!

[Mcdougall]

Great perspective!

[BeckyS]

Love the focus

[Ameen Ramana]

Lovely shot? How did you generate the movement blur? Would love to learn, this is cool.

[Paul Myers]

Wonderful perspective Jerry.

[jerry plume]

I sat the camera on the front of the boat and set the shutter to 1 1/2 sec. On my Canon it's the TV setting.

[Cade VanHeel]

alright Now this looks like fun! a warp speed boat ride though the mall lol I am going to be there next week!!

[bardejov]

Very cool effect. Feels like you are moving very fast.

[Caryn]

Glad you had room for your drink...sounds like good times!

[Sue Wilde]

Nice motion blur there

[PixScene]

Nice shot - love it! I will have to try that setting on my canon too.

[Jan Hall]

Great shot - it does sound cheesy ..... And fun!

[Harry J Benson]

great capture, we will be out there in May 2013 for a conference, I am definitely putting this on my list :)

[Kelly]

It sounds like you are having a great time - love the effect here Jerry!

[jerry plume]

@cvanheel Are you really! You gotta check out the Cosmo! If you like margaritas, Margaritaville was yummmmy!

[jerry plume]

[Binny]

Sounds like a lot of fun, this is great!

[Sheli]

This pic will put a smile on the dial of every person who views it. It sure did mine. Are you sure you're with your family??

[jerry plume]

@sheliwithani Lol! What stays in Vegas...;) They got a virgin drink just like us! ;o)

[Danny G.]

I was there, it is one impressive place. Like your motion shot and your pov - it almost feels like I had one of those 4 feet tall drinks!

[Mags]

Excellent motion shot! I feel like I'm in the gondola!

[Karen H]

Great motion shot. Hmmm that gives me an idea for my push pic this week.

[Elizabeth Youngs]

Great focus! Love the effect of the motion!

[Anita]

Looks like you're going at warp speed or was that the effect of the ginormous drink! hahah

[KWind]

Gotta love Vegas!! Wonderful shot!

[lorihiro]

Focus isn't everything -- it's one of my snapping mantras! I do feel like I got a buzz just looking at this shot! Love it and I have to FAV it! :-)

[Janelle]

Wow amazing shot...definitely got a buzz from this shot!!!

[beachradish]

THAT'S cool! A 4ft drink sounds like a good gondola companion ...

[ShanneW]

great composition - love the feeling of movement - and very cool - like the way you've chosen the shopping mall Bridge of Sighs equivalent to use here (I follow someone from Venice on Flickr and see these shots from there

[Sally Ings]

Great pov and love the feeling of movement you have captured! Sounds like you had a fantastic time in Vegas!

[Sassik]

Love your photo! Good way to entertain the hubbies, while the ladies are shopping :D

[Cade VanHeel]

@orangecrush Margaritaville sounds pretty good! Lol

[Livia]

Great shot! The interior of the hotel looks impressive and beautiful. 8)

[nod]

Super cool shot! Great contrast of sharply focused gondala against motion blur of the buildings.

[Lyn Todd]

the motion captures the 'craziness' of the place really nicely. :)

I imagine this is how it would look to me after a 4 foot drink lol. Such a cool shot!! Love the blur!

[Krista]

I love the Venetian and have stayed there a couple of times. Great shot!

[Lisabell]

Cool shot! Is this the way you intended or was it an effect of the 4 ft drink? (Yes, some of us do actually read the narratives!)

[Lesley Chisholm]

That almost makes me dizzy. Sounds like fun though.

[Laura Thornton]

I agree with Lisa and Lesley. Cool shot and disorienting! I'd fall out of the gondola!

[Erica Waterer]

Great shot - jealous of the drink
