The Setting Sun

One day I was out at the Races till later in the evening and taking pictures of planes in the static display. When the sun was low in the sky I decided to take a picture of the plane canopy with the sun on the other side and silhouetting the plane plus getting a bit more color in the sky.

Ryan STA

This Ryan STA is one of the planes that was in the static display at the Reno Air Races this year. It was an interesting looking 2 seater plane from around 1937. I like how the shinny chrome finish picks up interesting reflections and some blue from the sky. A lot of the images I did in the static display area are more close crop/detail shots as I was trying to find some interesting images and at the same time minimize the amount of clutter and people in the scene. Over the next few weeks I will be doing more blog posts with other photos from this years Air Races.

Christian's Headshot

This is a recent image from a set of head shots I did for Christian. Pretty simple and quick to do these and it gives him some nice images to use for various things.

Coffee Day

So I started my day with a 4 shots of espresso Americano  at Starbucks. When that was gone I had a cup of coffee from the Keurig and now I have this going.

I think I am starting to wake up now.

Fall Is In The Air

Fall is quickly approaching and with it is fall colors. It is a good time to get out and get some colorful images as well as some family portraits. Over the past few days I have been looking over the images I have done over the past couple years and playing around some more with a few of them, getting an idea of what has worked for me in the past and what has not as well as what type of images I like the most.
This is an image I took up in dog valley 2 years ago.

Another thing coming up is this years Air Races and I have been playing with past images from that as well. These two are of a couple jets that had just landed and will be moved over into the static display.
