Where the heck is Moose now? Moose is at school, Race Rookey School that is. My good friend Scott Diussa who runs NPS mentioned a month ago that Nikon would be at the Reno Air Races Rookey school. Most don’t know but I’m really into planes so I instantly asked, nicely, if he could get me in. Well, here I am!
The 1st day was great, filling 9 – 8GB cards will point blank race photography. I’m very fortunate that one of the best in the business, Richard VanderMeulen, is here and is a really, really nice guy. He shared with Scott with me so much information in photographing this sport. I wish he had a website I could send you to to see his work, it’s gorgeous.
Nikon is here with lots of goodies including the 500VR. It was the 200VR and 500VR that I shot with all day, handheld and man, what great, sharp lenses for this sport. All the photos here except the bottom one were taken with the 500VR. It’s 04:30 and I’m up and going, again. Just gotta photograph the line at sunrise.
