Very nice dartompkins! I especially liked "Aloft in Evening Color" and the smooth texture of the balloon on "Kaleidoscope".

Those are beautiful shots! I think my favorite is "Kaleidoscope." Great colors and detail in all of them. :o)

A very beautiful bunch of shots.

I went to the balloon festival at White Sands National Monument a few weeks back and got a few nice shots. When the sun is bright, the white sand makes for very interesting surroundings.

Those are great. The White Sands surroundings are a great compliment.

Of all the ones you've posted I feel this one is the best. I love the colours and the triangle formed by the balloons makes for an interesting composition.

Very nice. I left you some comments. My favorite is the first one in the second row, the blue balloon on the beautiful blue sky!
10/26/2004 09:21:30 PM · #17

I am sure it is possible, but wouldn't it look a bit out of place if it were lighter?

I managed to get field passes for the Plano Balloonfest in Plano Texas this year. Here are just some of what I took.

This one is the best! Off setting subjects against the background of one of the better sunsets that I've seen in a while works wonderfully!

Thanks TooCool and everyone commenting. Plano Shots are wonderful guys. I just love hot air balloons. I really enjoyed all the unusual angles. Some of those are great journalistic approach photos. I am curious if any of you sold to local papers etc.?

I would be having a pretty crumby photographic week considering my plummeting challenge scores without this balloon festival thread! Thanks to everyone participating.

I really like the two sunset shots you've posted. The silhouette's work really well against the orange/ blue.
