I asked security the night before if I could take pictures in the casino. He told me I could in this casino as long as I did not get up close to the slots as they were tumbling. It was earlier in the morning and security was watching me from everywhere. So the best thing I did was to go up and confront them by talking to them. It would have been nice to get the tripod out and take pictures of people but I think that would have been pushing it a bit.
Good exposure in a tough situation. Did you have to get permission to shoot there? Signpost detracts, but I don't guess there was much you could do about it.
i think i would have liked more of a focus on a specific slot machine than the car. also, the lighting isnt very good. it feels like a snapshot taken as you were leaving the casino.
I'd love to win that car. There's no one trying though. Strange folks. A player at one of the stations would've added a little more interested to the shot IMO. But well captured.
the post blocking the car is a hassle. Light reflections on the car and ceiling are a bit distracting too. Would have loved to have seen some old woman with blue hair playing the 3rd machine from the right :)
I like how this looks like a fish eye shot, because of the way the slot machines curve around, even though it isn't. I'm surprised they let you take a pic in the casino -- but I also seem to remember a forum thread about something like that -- so maybe they made you stop. The midtones here seem a little dark. I can just barely make out some of the features that I would think should be a little more visible (like the chairs at the machines).
I thought of going to a casino but a friend convinced me they didn't allow photographs there. I'd also be interested to know what time you went that there weren't people playing the slot machines. I wonder what it would have looked like with people though.
