This wide angle shot of the facade of New York New York Hotel and Casino is one of my favorites. As soon as I started the two second exposure of this frame, a taxi with a large white advertisement sign on the roof passed around the corner right in front of the camera. Because the car was so close to the camera, I thought it would cover most of the frame and mess things up. The cool thing is that the car was dark enough not to show up in the picture. The wide stripe is from the white advertisement sign on the roof of the taxi. It passed fast enough to make the white stripe transparent. The red lights are tail lights, and the orange stippled stripes are indicator lights from another car.
