Well, hubby and I *are* having fun...I think. It is absolutely sweltering out.
Note to self: do not go to balloonfests in August.

Anyway, here are a few from yesterday. I will try again tonight for more glow photos. I was flustered by the number of balloons blocking others, as well as the random nature of how they were lit....I never knew which way to turn with my tripod and remote shutter!

Wonderful series! Love the balloon glow you captured.

A wonderful set of colorful images! The one from below the basket particularly. They are really small on my
screen, even in download. Would love to see them larger.

You have a problem in your processing. You've taken images from a 20MP EOS 7II camera (5472×3648) and posted thumbnail-sized images (214x320). And then, you posted these thumbnails in the Main discussion section.

Consider the resizing ideas from the linked post, below, where 2048-pixels on the long-side of the image is a good size for sharing images into the Photo Gallery section. There are example screen prints from a few popular software for 'how' to resize your images, along with the discussion of 'why'.

Thanks Chuck, I will look in to this. I almost never post pictures, and one of the times I did I remember having to resize them, as they were all too BIG.

Now, it appears, I have done exactly the opposite, lol. On my end they appear to be roughly 2x3 inches, as I chose small when the option to upload appeared.

It looks like a great evening. Hopefully, you can easily revisit the final resizing step and re-share images we can enjoy their screen-filling glory.

OK, I will give that a try and repost in the Photo Gallery section. Is there any way to delete this current thread?

Post the revised version. Then, you can use the <Report Issue> button to send a message for any post / thread to ADMIN. Select this thumbnail thread. There's a drop-down list of options and a comment box. "Delete as duplicate" would be one of the options.

I am working in our RV, hiding from the extreme heat and humidity...hoping to have a second chance at tonight's balloon glow...if I am brave enough to endure the weather again. I'm a northern gal in a southern environment and I can get downright grouchy in this weather. Plus, my joints ache!
