Saturday we drove back to Stagecoach so we could attend the Reno Balloon Races on Sunday. It was quite a site seeing all those hot air balloons lighting up and taking off. We were a bit put off my the crowds and it seemed no matter where I choose to set up the cameras someone managed to either step in front of them or run into them! We definitely know where not to set up if attend again ;).
After taking a few shots we headed over to Virginia City for something I must admit I never had heard of: The Camel Races.
Now if sitting out in the hot sun and watching grown folks try to hang on to a camel while navigating a circle track is not strange enough for this Calif born and raised . .. not only do they race the camels but yes they try to hang on and race the Ostrich’s.
On the positive note I met some very nice folks at the balloon races! And got a decent shot out of the D70 too.
