Had a great time today at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta today. This was my wife and I's first time attending, and my first time really taking early morning and low light pictures. Took a little experimenting on my part to get good pictures of brightly lit objects in the dark. I still have a lot to work on, but I came away with a few keepers from the day I think.

Thanks! The morning shots were fun. Had a lot of throw aways though, all shots are handheld. Here are a few more from a little later in the morning. Thanks for viewing!

All great, but I vote for #2 in the second set as well! We caught the last night and morning at the Fiesta last year and I know what you mean by experimenting with the camera. I missed some shots before I remembered to shoot in Manual focus since it was too dark for the auto to work. Talk about pressure!
