Howell is about 60 miles northwest of Detroit. I have 25 years worth of balloon pics so I won't go to a balloon launch unless conditions are perfect. This day they were. Clear sunny sky with a few tiny clouds and virtually no wind. Low wind causes them to launch as early as 6:45-7pm when light is still good for photography.
Unluckily, I didn't have my favorite balloon lens the Nikon 24-120 F4 as I broke it the week before. It really was frustrating trying to shoot between two lenses that it took to replace the one. And I missed some good shots.
My settings for balloons under perfect conditions, F16, 1/500 sec., Auto ISO.
Wonderful views and colors!
