I'm not exactly what you'd call a regular here in Transportation, but I thought I'd post one up anyway after shooting balloons this morning with a couple of other POTNers.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

Great work Chris. I really like the first and last ones. But the Third is my favorite.

#3 is special with the cloud texture along with the balloon.

I liked #1 and #4.

4 is impressive, couldn't fit more balloons on a single image and still make it look great.

The first one I liked because I have covered such events, and it sure is not a walk in, spot shoot walk out sort of deal. One arrives there when there are only trailers and a few trucks, and a couple hours later (maybe more) the balloons are slowly taking shape.

Overall great series.

Yes, all but the first one were taken with a CP on. Very little PP on any of them. The CP really worked yesterday.
