Rocky Mountain Balloon Festival (Color Everywhere)

SitterS

Yesterday my son and I got up at 4am to get ready to go to the Rocky Mountain Balloon Festival here in Denver at the Chatfield State Park. Need to be there before 6am to meet my other photography friends. First time photographing hot air balloons. They are absolutely beautiful and the color is amazing. Here are a few shots. Have many more to go through but these are a few of my favs so far. Comments are appreciated and certainly welcomed.

Nice shots. One and Three are personal favorites. But 3 is my favorite I think with the puff of smoke and that perspective.

Number 3 it is.

Ohhhhhhh gosh these are sooooooooo colourful
It's just a sky of colours once they are up,
a very quiet sport Ballooning is....it's graceful too.

Great series I really really love the Colours

Thanks for sharing ..... Skippy

I like the colors and think #'s 1 and 4 are my fav's (can't see #3 for some reason )

Great shots Sitter. I also have the 20d. and the lenses. except the 70-200. love the colors.

Thanks Colleen and Enrique.

I like my 20D and it has been a great performer for me. I am wanting to add a second camera to my equipment so I am currently saving for the 40D. I absolutely love the 70-200 but took some getting use to in the beginning. I am small and it is heavy!
