Mountaineer Balloon Festival

Hi everyone.

I finally got a chance to shoot a hot air balloon festival last weekend. I really enjoyed it and was very lucky to have a beautiful morning with a great blue sky as a backdrop.

Here are some of my results:

I like 5. It's not the typical color shot. It's brilliant and you know what you're
looking at.

Nicely done.

wonderful photos, I finally get to go on my hot air balloon trip at the end of the month, and I can't wait. These definitely get me in the mood.

Thank you for the nice compliments.
Thank you all for looking and commenting.

I never really thought much about a hot air balloon ride but after being on the ground at this festival I thought how awesome it must be to ride in one of these baskets. I'm sure you'll have a great time.
While sharing these photos with others, someone offered up some QTVR Panos that they took that are really awesome. I don't think he'll mind if I share them with you. These will really get you excited about your upcoming flight.
