Default Balloons Night time

Here are a couple shots I took of the night time show the hot air balloons put on Saturday night. I was supposed to get my first firework display shots in also, I was pumped and ready, been researching firework shots for weeks now and I ended up leaving before the fireworks display, had to pick up 2 of my 7 daughters who were babysitting for my sister in law. Anyway, enjoy the photos, as I surely do, and feel free to critique and give any advise.

Beautiful shots. I am really hoping to take some similar shots at the balloon glow for the Great Forest Park Ballon Race, so it is nice to see some wonderul examples.

Thanks, I have been intrigued by these balloons since 1984 when I first ever got to ride in one, I rode 3 times and have had special place in my heart for ballooning. Actually I have been searching and have found a couple balloons I'm interested in possibly buying.

Fantastic pictures and real crowd pleasers, not easy to capture light and colour in the evening light and these are excellent, nicely done jdloniak

These are all fantastic, love the colours and the clear focus. I love the evenings when we have balloon nights in Hamilton the atmosphere is always cheerful and exciting, you have captured this in your shots. Well done.
