Working on a Mystery


Getting a photograph that's a little different is as simple as changing your point of view.

In the red


Things are getting off to a complicated start and it looks like I may not get to photograph Fiesta this year.

Pre-Flight


Because they got such a late start with the balloon glow the sky is a bit darker than I wanted to be, requiring longer exposures and causing a bit more motion blur.

Filling the Balloons


I went to a balloon glow and had a lot of fun trying to photograph it.

Shooting moving objects (in the dark) in manual focus with long exposures keeps you on your toes, not to mention the fact your subject isn't always lit.

I'd say this is a great way to practice and reinforce your skills, learn to better think on your feet, and most importantly have some fun.

Like photographing fireworks, these opportunities don't come around everyday....
