Travel to some of the most exotic locales in the world or simply slow down and see things from a vantage that few can explore in person at National Geographic’s Rarely Seen, Photographs of the Extraordinary, Imagine Exhibitions’ immersive experience at Bally’s.
Inside the exhilarating exhibit, you’ll first find an introduction by Stephen Alvarez, a veteran photographer with National Geographic, which will give you a view into what motivates photographers and how the effort pays off for those looking at the image.
Check out the pope taking a selfie in Vatican City, or a hummingbird hovering in front of a pit viper. A simple shot of the dusting of a bighorn sheep museum exhibit leaves you wondering just what’s real. Innovative lighting technology allows many of those visual wonders to become even more impressive, as they are projected on the walls and wrap around you.
The entire experience leaves you with an emotional reaction, and a feeling of connection to the globe we live on.
Among the photographs you’ll see:
• A supercell storm, with lightning cracking down all around;
• A beach with thousands of penguins;
• The beauty of the release of thousands of floating lanterns;
• The enormous, perfectly spherical Moeraki Boulders of New Zealand;
• A close-up look at a Siberian tiger;
• A monk standing in the ruins of a Cambodian temple.
