New Reno, Nevada Photos

Gotta love Springtime!

Yesterday, I was able to get down to Reno, Nevada and after running a couple errands, I headed to Downtown Reno with the camera. The trees are blossoming down there right now, and everything is looking incredible, everywhere you look. Shooting the Reno Arches with blossoms in the foreground has been on my to-do list for many many years. However, the blossoms don't last very long at all, and I always seem to miss the peak of the show. Not this year! My timing worked out perfectly, and I was able to get these two "keeper" shots.

Both of these were shot handheld with the Canon 5DS R and a 24-105mm lens. The cameras's ISO was 200, and the shutter speed was 1/200 of a second. The aperture varied. The top photo is the main arch on the main strip in Downtown Reno. The bottom photo is of the smaller, older arch a couple of blocks away.

These photos are already up on my new website, available as large or small prints, canvas prints, prints on metal, framed prints, tote bags, phone cases, greeting cards, and more! I'm very happy with my new website as I've already received some very large print orders! Today, I added a whole new category of Reno area images to the site, if you're curious, you can check it out here: Reno Area Gallery

Thanks for looking and I hope you all are having a great day!

Thank you! It's snowing again up here in Truckee. Reno is about a 40 minute drive down the mountain. I may go back again this weekend...

There's something about Spring that lifts my spirit and with all these beautiful colours in New Reno, my day's made.
Photography really suits you.

I first thought the your first picture was from a game / digitally created. Definitely a very amazing one!

Spring looks good on little Reno Nevada and it makes beautiful topnotch shots off your photography. I'm not surprised you are getting serious orders.

Congrats on the new website success 🍾 I like the new Reno shots. I think I like the old neon one better. I always like retro looking shots.

Thank you, @steven-patrick! And I'm digging the new Reno shots as well. I almost skipped the old sign, glad I ended up driving over there to check it out.

The camera shots are top notch. In fact I doubt if any smartphones can take shots clear like this or what do you think?

Thank you! And probably not. This image can be printed up a lot bigger than a phone pic too. Bigger image sensor and bigger glass.
