Hoover Dam

^^^^^Very nice shots. First shot I've seen with the highway bridge in the background. That's a fairly new highway, right? Last decade or so?

Chewy734 · 02-16-2011, 08:37 AM

Any editing done to the sky in that last pic?

Opened up last fall, I believe. I was out there the day they had a private party the week before it opened to the public. Before anything thinks I'm special, I wasn't invited to the private party. I just saw the signs, police, and barricades keeping the general riff-raff out. I was with the mortals on the Hoover Dam. The bridge wasn't as impressive in person as I thought it'd be, though.

M_Six · 02-16-2011, 10:58 AM

Thanks, Jeff. I thought it had to be new. We were out there maybe 7 years ago and I know it wasn't there then.

ChrisK, very nice image. What lens was that?

The1 · 02-16-2011, 11:05 AM

I have a shot or two where the bridge is still being built from last spring.

And yes, it's brand new, just opened in the fall i believe.

Yes sir, I drove over it in the spring when it was still the main highway, and my mom went over the bridge in the fall after it was finished.

She was disappointed because she wanted to drive over the dam.

I actually drove over the damn and that thing is massive (that's what she said. lol). I wanted to get on it to take pics but I got lazy and we needed to get to Vegas.

it was pretty cool to take pictures off of, you're definitely in the middle of a wind tunnel when you stand there, I wouldn't be surprised if someone lost a hat at least daily there.

I also don't think you fully appreciate the scale of it until you stick your head over the edge and look down to see how small the stair cases at the bottom are....

It's pretty phenomenal.

I'll go look at my pics and see if there are any worth posting.

I like how you can look almost straight down into the overflow tunnel. Looks big enough to parachute into.

lol yeah.... I had a million curiosities about that tunnel.... like where it empties, how many bodies old Las Vegas hit men had thrown down there in the good ol days....

The1 · 02-16-2011, 05:34 PM

Here's the bridge on april 11th 2010

and the downward view of the dam. I have a couple better pictures, but this one shows scale best.

The1 · 02-16-2011, 05:35 PM

sorry for the double picture post.... accidental.

but those little squares at the base are the stair cases i was talking about.

Sidnito · 02-16-2011, 11:14 PM
