A friend called me last night to let me know a blimp was circling the local airport, so I decided to head out this morning to see if I could catch a few pictures before it left. After waiting around in the parking lot of the nearby Days Inn, I was finally able to snap a couple pictures as it went airborne.

As I'm still learning how to use my new 40d and 70-200 f/4L IS, I was pretty happy with how these pictures turned out, and decided I would post my first pictures to the forum. If anyone has any C&C, I'd gladly appreciate it.

Cool, I like your third one best. It shows what maneuvering a blimp is capable of.

Thanks for the kind words; blimps have always been a fascination of mine!
