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!

I first thought the your first picture was from a game / digitally created. Definitely a very amazing one!
Ha! I can see that. It was so vibrant and clear out.
This one is really beautiful! blossom tree really worked very well in that composition!
Thanks @malos10! It was so nice to see in person.
This looks like a WonderLand and Reno is indeed Springing! 😊
Great photography!
Thank you! It was so nice to see.
Beautiful Bloom, I can see that Spring is happening already, Reno is indeed lucky.
Congratulations that you have started off on a great note, I wish you more and more large orders.
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...
Please do, and don't forget to get us more pictures.
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.
Thank you! Spring is awesome! It's still winter up the mountain a bit, here in Truckee...
You were in the right place at the right time.
Super lucky this year!
Wow
That second picture is really amazing
I love it!
Thank you, @rafzat!
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.
Thank you, @jemima2001! It's been great to see the orders coming in.
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.
Yours is so beautiful. I took the picture as well, but no comparison
It's still nice! And you were wise to crop out the traffic... lol. Thank you, and thank you for sharing that!

These two beautiful clicks of yours have truly captured the beauty of this city. Your photography skills are remarkable.
Thank you!!! It's normally a "meh" city, but it's great this time of year.
