Cleared for Takeoff


Exp: 1/200, f/10, ISO 200
Gear: Canon 40D, 70-200F4L IS @ 200mm

Over the last couple days I was able to go out to the National Championship Air Races in Reno, NV.  It was a great experience.  If you’re an aviation buff like I am and you haven’t been out to Reno make sure you get it on your list of things to do next year.  The aircraft on display and that race are like nothing you’ve probably seen before.  Between the corsair, bearcats and clip wing mustangs there’s something for everyone.  Since this was my first trip to Reno I was welcomed by the seasoned photographers many more than happy to share tips for the best places to stand.  I’m definitely never going to forget standing out on the pylon having 7 AT-6′s racing straight at me … yeah I got the picture.

Check the blog next week I should have a link to an album of the shots I took, right now I have about 3000 more images to go through.

    Awesome aviation shots here! I’m really enjoying your log.

    I’m an avid aviation photographer, but this year will be my first at Reno. Any tips for the Reno newbie? Can anyone shoot “at the pylons”, or is that special access only?

    A media pass is required to shoot at the pylons.
