Usually when people shoot photos of a city or Las Vegas for that matter, it’s long exposures with light trails in a clean and typical fashion. Fellow photographer Tim Navis took a much more interesting approach and shot this beautiful set of simulated double-exposures on his Canon 5d Mark II.
Navis Photography + Las Vegas

These are amazing. The coloured spots remind me a lot of Scott’s work, particularly his album covers.
Navis never ceases to impress.
Hint of Bladerunner anybody?
Hey guys, I’m currently saving up for my own dSLR camera. I just had a quick question for all the photographer/videographers out there. Would it be wiser to buy a more ‘entry level’ camera first like a rebel, or to get a nice high quality camera like a mark II right off the bat? Some people seem to think that you might as well learn on the best equipment you can get, but others say you wont be able to handle the better camera. Any thoughts?
Thanks :]
@Kesu Thanks for the question and heres my short answer:
I’d probably suggest starting with an entry level camera. Just like you said, a high end camera isn’t going to do a photographer any sort of good without the knowledge to use it. I’ve seen a number of photographers producing amazing results with entry level cameras and not pro cameras.
My overall suggestion would be to purchase an entry level DSLR and then put your extra money towards your lenses and light setup. Lenses & lights are really important; almost more important than the camera body itself in my opinion.

Kesu – I agree with Shelby.
Even the entry level cameras now a days are pretty impressive. For you, get a nice 40, 50 or 60D (or Nikon equivalent). Use that for a few years. Then once you start to feel the limitations of that camera, you’ll better understand the capabilities of owning a 5D or better. Otherwise, if you just go straight for the good stuff – you might not know how to utilize its power. For me, I wanted better ISO performance and full frame. Then for lighting, just start with a simple single source light. Growing is the fun part. 🙂
Those are fantastic!
well played sir.
they look futuristic
Thank you Shelby and Tim for your great advice. :]
Great work as usual Navis. @Kesu .. I went with a 40D as my first DSLR about a year and a half ago and it hasn’t let me down yet. You can get great deals on older models online. I got mine on amazon marketplace for about half the retail value.
@Kesu, @Tyler has a good suggestion by going with Amazon or finding older models.
Check out the 40D (I shot with it for a year, great cam) – http://amzn.to/hAbxQQ
Also check out the 7D if you need video:

Great stuff as usual Navis .. Kesu, you definitely don’t need to jump on the 5D right away. I started with (and still use) a 40D and I have yet to be disappointed with it. If you take some time to look online, you can find pretty awesome deals. I got my 40D off amazon marketplace for half retail price.
Crap .. sorry for the double post. Is there a blog janitor around? 🙂
The day we have such pictures on Picuous is the day I’ll be sure to die happy. Some marvelous stuff here.
Amazing pics, he managed to show a non-kitsch side of Vegas!
Love that second frame, great work!
wonderful pictures!
