Such a colourful subject and it must have been great to be there seeing the glow of the burners and enjoying the atmosphere, beautifully captured Rachel,
Regards, Rod.
Thanks Rod! I enjoyed photographing them. Now if I would just arrange to go up in one… I’ve always wanted to, I don’t know why I haven’t done it yet!

Really great color! And clarity! Good work! :) Think I’m particle to your featured one on WB though. (just my opinion)
Thanks Ruth! Actually this is the one that was featured on WS. See for yourself: http://rides.webshots.com/photo/234737760002653... Is there another one you are thinking of?
– Rachel Stickney
oh my gosh Rachel – this is beautiful. I have just posted a couple of photos of the Adirondack Balloon Festival – but I wasn’t able to get any pictures like this. It is stunning!!
Thank you so much, Jeannette! My night shots of this definitely turned out better than the daytime (well early evening) ones since the sky was very overcast. You can see both here on my Webshots account: http://rides.webshots.com/album/564198819YzrWwN I’m going to take a look at yours now.

I think it was the last one posted titled "winding down’……lol …
You really like that one better? This is one is much more colorful. Thanks for your input!

Hi Henri, thank you! First time I had seen a balloon glow in person and first attempt at capturing it too.

how beautiful they glow at night!! i have never seen a night shot of balloons before!! very cool and a great shot!!!
H Angie, thanks! I appreciate your visit and comments! There was an announcer and he would count to three over the PA and then everyone would light their balloon for a few minutes.
