Amazing Aerial Photos Show Las Vegas Like You Have Never Seen It Before

After capturing the most amazing images of New York ever, Vincent Laforet is using the same technology to photograph other major cities around the world. This is Las Vegas.

To capture these unprecedented crystal clear pictures, he used the same equipment as in New York:

Armed with cameras such as the Canon 1DX and the Mamiya Leaf Credo 50 MP back- both capable of shooting relatively clean files at 3200 & 6400 ISO and a series of f2.8 to f1.2 lenses including a few tilt-shift lenses (see image above.)

I was finally able to capture some of the images that I’ve dreamed of capturing for decades.
