Well 2009 was pretty eventful I visited 2 more national parks, Grand Canyon and Yosemite. Three of my images were published in David Busch’s Digital Photography Bucket List: 100 Great Digital Photos You Must Take Before You Die. You should check it out.
Along those sames lines I was able to go out and shoot the Reno Air Races. This was a trip on my own bucket list. The image above was taken out on the pylons. Shooting the racers is very challenging. The planes are moving fast but a slow shutter speed is required to not have stopped props. So good panning technique is necessary for sharp images. For this image I dusted off Silver Efex Pro applying a red filter to give drama to the sky. Click the image above for a desktop size image.
