Balloons at the Park event

This weekend was a balloon festival near my home. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate so there wasn't as much flying as I was hoping for. I thought I'd share some of my photos from this weekend.

C&C always welcome.

I really enjoyed the fireworks, especially 52,54,and 55! I'll give it a try next time we have some down here in St. Louis. May I ask what your settings were? Thanks

Thanks. I used BULB setting and set aperature between f/8 & f/11 or more. If it's a really bright, vibrant point in the display, I changed it to f/11 or so. That would help to prevent blowing out too much of the colors. I would let the exposure go anywhere from 2 to 10 seconds using a wireless remote.

Oh, and my Aunt that lives down around StL was telling me today that there's a balloon festival there in September, I believe.

Thanks, I looked it up, it is The Great Forest Park Balloon Race and it is September 17-19 in Forest Park. I'll see if I'm off work and try to go.

Good series.
