Out & About with Kadi, Alienyst, and eqsite

08/07/2005 02:31:46 PM · #1

KaDi, Alienyst, eqsite and some non-DPC photogs all met up in Binghamton yesterday morning to shoot the hot air balloons at the Spiedie Fest. After 'brunch' some of us visited a couple antique carousels as well.

Hopefully the others will have some shots to post for you too!

Here are some of my faves:

I like your balloon shots. Wish I could have been there. I love balloon festivals.

It was definitely a great outing. Nice to finally meet Kadi and Alienyst as well. I'm traveling most of this week, but I'll try to get some shots posted tonight.

Nice shots both of you! I wish I had stayed for the carousels...but that has been posted before. I should have some shots ready tonight.

Ok...I have 714 shots from that day. I have not even gotten to process all of them and some of these are still too dark, but I wanted to get something up.

Pics can be found here: Balloons gallery

Of the 714 I reckon I will pull about 100 and whittle down from there. I can't wait to get to my car pics. Like Kadi, I wasn't into those that much at all but I like some of the those pics the best.

Good luck and have fun!

NOTE: The heat is more than expected when you are close to the burners.

Great work Alienyst! You did a wonderful job of capturing the flames. It was good to meet you. I hope we get the chance to shoot together again.

Thanks! I got a lot more of flames but didn't want to over-post the flame shots.

I left a new gtg suggestion at the other board. See what you think.

Yes I enjoyed meeting all of you and had a great time. I look forward to the next meeting.

Hey Gary and Alienyst. Great shots! I just left you guys some comments. I'll be waiting for your car shots, Alienyst. Hey, KaDi, where are your pics??

I had a blast. I saw the new gtg post on the other forum. Will answer that as soon as I can. I'm trying to multi-task here...lol Look forward to our next shoot!

Great shots--too bad I couldn't join you! Looks like you had a great time and got a lot of great shots! Hopefully next time!

Glad to see you joined our "other" forum, Neil. Hopefully you can make it to our next outing. The more the merrier (just how do you spell that???).
