Here
Anyone got any tips?
I will be leaving home at 2 a.m. to make it there for fill and launch. Should be fun. Will be meeting up with a group of people - some from here - for the event. |

Weather says partly cloudy. That is what I am hoping for. |

Well, once when I was little one just jumped right out of my hand and flew away. I was crushed. |

| I've shot as some of these myself. Great fun. Try to get to know a balloonist. Maybe next time you can get passes into where the ballons launch (if you dont have them already). Try getting a shot shooting into the balloon as they are filling it with air. I hope the weather holds out for you. Have fun. |

Good luck! I was at Spedifest about 4 years ago and it was amazing. That time, after sunset they set up the baloons on the ground and turnd on the flames so the canopies lit up. With all of them set up like that, it made a really cool shot!
Make sure you eat some Spedies for me! Man I miss them, I can't wait until I get back to Binghamton.

| Stay on their sunny side... they can become very dark on the side away from the sun and over compenstating might blow the sky. |
