Daily Photo – The Royal Entrance
It took me a long time to get this shot right. In fact, in the upcoming HDR DVD, I try to work on another version of this — a vertical one. No matter what I did, I could not get it quite sharp enough because of some camera shake. This one turned out okay.
This is one of the entry hallways into the amazing Venetian hotel in Las Vegas. Feel free, as with all the photos, to zoom into the maximum resolution version on SmugMug. And yes, I still think SmugMug is very cool and am still using it after three months. For more info, see my SmugMug Review.
New Print Available – The Mysteries and Adventures of the New Year
Art collectors and fans rejoice! This great new Limited Edition Numbered Print is now available entitled "The Mysteries and Adventures of the New Year". It’s so pretty and one of my favorites. I took it in Indonesia after patiently waiting through a heck of a bad storm at this ancient temple. Sometimes, if you wait through the storm just long enough, a perfect and dramatic sunset can appear. Even better, you’ll be able to enjoy it by yourself because most everyone else will be huddling inside, trying to avoid the storm.
Also, remember that every print is unique and has its own number. You can purchase now from our partners at Really Big Canvas. You can also shop more around that site — Mother’s Day is quick approaching!

Great detail and symmetry – love the 3D effect of that marble floor
wow.. really gorgeous!
Trey, great job! I know what you mean about camera shake! You don’t want to set up a tripod here as the guards will shoo you away! Seems to be the case all over the Strip in Vegas. Here is mine from an early morning jaunt before all of the guests were awake!

Fantastic shot.
great job as usual. here’s my more conventional view.
wow. Great nothing else to say.
Impressive place- the processing is crystal clear…superb.
this one is impressive Trey. one of my favorites i have seen you post lately.
the sense of dimension given to the floor combined with the vanishing perspective really makes this one of your best
amazing detail, color and contrast. i really dig that "qbert" floor! you really pulled the 3d effect out of it.
Stuning shot!
Beautiful!
Superb editing !!! So royal and majestic !!!
wow this photo blow my mind! incredible!
