Very cool shots! I really like #2 & #4. I've seen balloon shots before (and always get a little envious), but I've never seen them taken in the dark with the balloons lit up. Nice!

Thanks for the visit Sherry.

first time I shot them in the dark also, it was cool

Wow, the thought of going up in a balloon scares me, doing it at night sounds even worse. I would of been happy on the ground with my camera.

Nice shots!

Is this at Abuquerque? I've been to the Balloon Fest there a couple of times, but never with a decent camera. I do have a few photos on my site that I'm proud of though. I like the fact you can get out on the field there and meet the people, even help if you want! That and they do the predawn launch and night-glow.

nicely done. #2 looks like a classic shot of the scene, but I like #3 best for the interest. It's nice how they ended up light, dark, light, dark.

Very nice series Rags

I was also wondering if this was the Albuquerque Balloon-fest, but I looked it up and it starts Oct 6th.

Thanks folks for visiting and for the comments.

This was Reno, NV. Its a big one. I was stepping over people at 4am (they camped there) and crowds were swarming in

It was really neat

They are fun, aren't they! We always get a hotel that's about 1 mile from the Albuquerque one so we don't have to camp out and try to get there about an hour before first light. There's nothing like watching 6-700 or more balloons taking off.
