Re: Reno 2021 photo thread.
These are very nice indeed. I found myself just sitting and looking at the first one for a while. I like it dark -- fits the mood. I'm not sure I would have had the nerve to present it so dark but boy does it work here.
The last one is an instance where the prop disk really works -- I think because it's so clearly lit, and you had the blessed gift of yellow prop tips, LOL, and so contrasty to the blurred background. I wish I had ever had your physical skills as well as the obvious photographic skills. I was always too shaky to do much of this with success.
Randomness works. Hope to see more...

Re: Reno 2021 photo thread.
I assumed that -- though I actually figured it for after sunset. It's a great presentation of what the light was like. The little highlights are great. Technically perfect -- all the tones are there which is hard to do in that light. It's a very cool photograph, and perfectly framed. Do you do any cropping these days?

You're about the only person I know who doesn't crop Reno stuff when needed, though. There's a reason for that.

Re: Reno 2021 photo thread.
Question for the photographers out here...
I see a lot of discussion about shutter speeds, lenses, and the like but but not too much about ISO and mode.
All things being equal (lighting, class of aircraft, etc) what you guys shooting in? Assume shutter priority for the prop a/c?
Do you adjust ISO at all? If so, is it by class, by lighting, by...?
Inquiring minds want to know...asking for a friend.

Re: Reno 2021 photo thread.
For me whatever ISO gives me a fast enough shutter speed to give me a reasonable percentage of sharp shots. For the jets I often went with something like a 1600 ISO so I could shoot at 1/1000 or faster, for those exquisitely sharp shots. These modern cameras shoot amazingly well at ISOs up to at least 1000. Unless you're a cyborg like Tim or Victor the slowest ISOs will greatly reduce your percentages...
