A few more photographs from the Reno Air Races that I processed in black and white. I’ve still got more to work on and will keep posting them as I can.

My foot is getting better every day, but it’s still a bit tender so I took a short, careful walk around the grounds at work this afternoon, and what did I focus on again?
I took these with my 85mm. These are cropped, of course.
I need to stay off my foot as much as I can, so aside from a few household chores, I’ve been a good girl. Still, I needed a photo for today, and the backyard was as good a place to shoot as any. This pear has been sitting our deck rail for a couple of weeks. I set it there to ripen and it’s looking pretty tasty. But the yellow against the redwood stain and the bokeh of the trees is rather pleasing, yes?
More practice with portrait lighting. Key light (soft box) was to camera left and above my head, with a bit of fill light (soft box) on my right side (as you look at me). I held a white poster-board on my lap to bounce light up to soften shadows under my jaw. Post process I softened the clarity of the portrait in Adobe Bridge.
Oh my goodness! I get to sleep in tomorrow!
I’m camera’d out today. After four days of volunteering in the hot sun, finding time to shoot about 300 photos each day, then having to deal with all that is involved in gleaning the good ones and processing them, I didn’t have much spirit for picking up a camera today.
However, the 365 Project calls, so this evening I experimented with some quick shots using my 50mm lens at high ISO (6400) and short focal length (f/3.2).
