Went to the Warren County, NJ balloon fest last night, but the approaching thunderstorm prevented anyone from flying :( But they did fill a few balloons so I got some shot of that:

This first guy let me go inside the balloon as he was warming it up:

    You were lucky, that's quite a shot that first one from inside the balloon!
    Did you go on a flight by any chance?

    Doesn't take them long to get them prepared and up in the air does it.

    Your flame shots are Really Cool clap.gif .... Skippy :D

    No did not go up in one, not a big fan of heights! I went back yesterday when the weather was good, and they launched about 20 different balloons. Took a couple more shots (maybe 600 or so!) and will post some on my flickr account when I get a chance. www.flickr.com/kirbinster

    Nice set. The perspective from inside the balloon is really cool.

    I love number 1, bet it was a bit warm in there, also like the last shot, the faint look of a blue tube shooting into the ballon.

    Nice picture

    Nice set! That first one is awesome! What a (warm) treat it must have been to be allowed inside! thumb.gif
