A few Hot air balloons

[nemopaice]

First time shooting any balloons. It was on the spur of the moment. I saw them while coming back from an early morning shoot and thought I would capture a few. I guess there was a balloon festival that I didn't know about.

Nice catches. I like the last 2.

Thanks. I was a little unsure about those two. I took a few similar to those.

I was a little unsure about those two. I took a few similar to those. I like them, too, & did some of those at a festival when the sun was lower:

Thanks. I wish they would have had these ones while the sun was lower myself, like in yours. I never like aiming my cameras at the sun when it's higher in the sky. I had to shoot these quick too, because those balloons were moving pretty fast.

Here is another one that I am a bit unsure about?

Not sure if I should maybe crop it some or something. It just seems to me that the sun being in the center almost forces my eyes to look into an area that seems wrong or un-natural in some way?

[PhotosGuy]

I might crop some off the top & left. Try some crops in PS & see what you think.

I dunno what those guys are thinking, but there is NO WAY they can compete with that rocketship. :p

Nice pics, I especially like the sillhouette.
