up to the left (2022) (Patreon)

A shot I took in Reno, NV while out on a final day of shooting before I moved away. I had been planning to hike up a 600-foot hill (generously named "Rattlesnake Mountain") for almost the whole time I'd lived in Reno, but never actually got around to it. With a week until I left, I hiked up with a full bag of camera gear, including my 300-mm vintage Nikkor lens, to shoot long-distance shots. 

Reno-Tahoe Int'l Airport and the City of Reno, as seen from Rattlesnake Mountain. 

It was an appropriate way to say goodbye to the city, as I capture jets taking off deep into the twilight and got to soak in a little of the beauty that Reno did truly have to offer. Anyway, I took this shot of the bicyclist while I was on top of the mountain, but since I was so focused on the jet photos (which I should share in a future installment, they're pretty good), I never actually edited this one before. 

On a side note, I wanted an easier way to look through the pictures I'd uploaded so far as daily photos, so I created a Flickr album I thought I'd share. The photos are private and the only way to view them is with that link, so save it if you'd like easy access to the whole catalog. I updated it yesterday (50 photos so far!), and I will probably try to update it once a month or so with all of the new shots I've posted. You can also download the pictures on Flickr if it's more convenient than on Patreon. Enjoy!
