Everything's Up To Date In Kansas City...Except My Photography

Our two weeks in Fayetteville were nice, but I think most of us were ready to move on. Next up was Kansas City. Unfortunately though we move a bit further north, the hot weather stayed with us. So imagine how pleasantly surprised we were when we pulled into the hotel and discovered that it was one of those hotel and water park combos. That pleasure lasted a matter of hours though when I saw all of the children in swimming suits running amok all around the hotel. Needless to say we needed to find ways of getting out of the hotel. One of those ways was to visit downtown Kansas City as our hotel was several miles away from downtown.


I had heard good things about downtown Kansas City from various people who had been there before whether for tour or for a music industry trade show. So I got out my camera and started exploring.



There is some very cool architecture in Kansas City.







The Power and Light district is the main attraction downtown. It is the dining and entertainment district. Had our hotel been downtown, I would have spent more time there (especially the Flying Saucer!)








Now aside from wanting to reference the song from Oklahoma!, I titled my post what I did because I made a photographic blunder yet again. I left my camera set on a really high ISO setting from taking nighttime pictures, and so all of my daytime pictures from Kansas City are grainy and disappointing. I am glad to say that I have now found a way to take my nighttime pictures that will not cause this to happen again! I guess I will just have to return to Kansas City with another tour and try again.
