[...] P51s do something to me unlike any car – must be the appreciation for their war experience. They are powerful, stunning and the definition of cool…to me. Here is a great photo gallery from the Reno Air Races last year. Many P51s and other legends on site: Reno Air Races Results and Photo Gallery [...]

Tim.
Your right. This was my first time and I was all over the place trying get a sharp fuselage and a blurred prop. Same shutter speed on the little F-1 and Pitt bi-planes blurred the prop but the bigger unlimited class must turn much slower. Another problem or opportunity was panning with the unlimited class planes. An F-1 car may be going 150 or 160mph these guys are in another realm going by at 450+mph or more.
Next time the props will be blurred.
Fun fun fun.
Dennis

Nice job. The shutter speeds at the pylons though is much too high. No where near enough prop blur.

FYI.
Thom Richards won in Invictus – not in Miss USA.

If you didn’t think planes could do a burnout, check out Rare Bear in picture 18…

Great story and pictures.

I’ve always loved the Reno Air Races, and would love to attend. I’ll spend hours watching videos of it on YouTube. I don’t care if it’s not cars, this is a serious motorsport.

Great shots, and I hope we get similar coverage next year!

Great photos Dennis, you really nailed them! Weather conditions looked perfect and gave you some great backgrounds. I know it can be real tricky getting great aircraft shots so well done.
