A wonderful morning in Canberra with >20 balloons taking off! So many compositions but I like this one with 2 flames and "Nudie" fruit juices (www.nudie.com.au) in the middle. My 14mm Samyang prime was perfect to get all the balloons in frame!
Thanks to www.balloonaloft.com for letting me photograph the inflation/take off. Hunter Valley, NSW, Australia

Taken on valentines day. It was BUSY and CROWDED which make for crazy balloon experiences... like balloons getting shredded by fans and baskets and being unable to fly... but that's a whole other story in itself. Taken at La Bajada (sp?) before it got "built on"
Taken from the side of our motorhome, as we are parked for the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta.

Thanks again to my good friend Phil Odum for the great parking spot....I would have never made it on time...Thanks Phil
direct overhead balloon passing by over Utrecht, The Netherlands. Look careful and you can see the hands of the sailor. Shot with Pentax K3II and Sigma 120-400 @400
Hot air balloon over the city centre photographed from the ferris wheel. I finally got a chance to take ride with my friend Laura! This was at 8:40 in the evening. I just love Finnish summer evenings.

The weather didn’t really cooperate as it was snowing, raining and windy the first two days. Finally the last day some balloons took flight. The red sandstone cliffs make a nice backdrop for the colorful balloons.
Without a wide angle lens it's hard to capture the number of balloons that make up this spectacle. The sky is litterally filled with balloons. I posted this one at a higher resolution than usual so you can see the big pic and get a better sense.
"Ferrara Balloons Festival" is the most important festival of balloons in Italy and one of the most prestigious in Europe.
The winds have welcomed you with softness,
The sun has greeted you with it's warm hands,
You have flown so high and so well,
That God has joined you in laughter,
And set you back gently into
The loving arms of Mother Earth.

Several weeks ago I decided to attend the Winthrop Balloon Festival (winthropwashington.com/event/winthrop-balloon-festival). Considering the weather forecast I probably should have stayed home but I had reservations at Winthrop Inn so I drove to Winthrop Thursday on a pleasant, partly sunny day. Yesterday was cloudy but the forecast rain and snow did not show up. You can see that in my photos from today (March 4) that not only did it not snow and rain, there was hardly a cloud in the sky. Photos I took of the balloons yesterday floating in the gray sky are not that exciting but the blue sky March 4 made the colorful balloons stand out. I will upload many more photos of the Winthrop Balloon Festival in the nest few days and weeks. IMG_3487
And guess what else! The very lovely Nicolle of Sacred Lotus Photography spotlighted me! Read all about it here.
this morning i went out to Ripon for the "color the skies" event ... and it really was colorful!
for some reason my camera had a mind of it's own this morning and the settings kept changing ... the wb changed and a few images came out with a blue tint, then a few that were a bit on the green side, and then a few were okay ... strange! hopefully i'll be able to salvage a few, but at least this one came out ... and, pretty much sooc for a change ... well, kinda ... lol
hope you are all having a great holiday weekend!!
