OF COURSE THERE WAS AN ATLANTIC CITY BEFORE ITS BOARDWALK, but for a first time visitor that Boardwalk – and the adjacent Steel Pier – is the essential iconic view of the seaside resort city. The sun was going down when I checked in at my hotel, Resorts AC, so I had just enough time to throw my bags on the bed before rushing past the casino floor through the lobby and out to the Boardwalk for some shots.
Whatever else I was going to do in the next day or so, I knew I’d keep returning to the pier and the Boardwalk to try and catch as many variations of the view as I could with my cameras. The sun had already set so I headed straight for the The Wheel – the 227 foot tall ferris wheel on the Steel Pier, where I knew I could get some great views of the casinos at night even if there was no more light on the water…
