Hot Air Balloons

For all of the daytime shots I used a Nikon d60 with 18-135mm AF-s lense. I always use an ISO of 200, a throwback to my film days when Kodak made the best film, usually 1/250s and F5.8. For the nightime balloon glow I think I used an ISO of 800. WHite balance is always set to cloudy, I like to soften the harsh sunlight, I always use a UV and CPL.
Good luck and I hope this helps~

I have been in ABQ several times for the balloon fest but at those times I was there on business and did not get anytime to attend but I did get to see the morning launches and it is spectacular with the mountains in the background and golden sunrise. Takes your breath away sometimes!!
I will add a few more for you!

I tried to load more photos for you but they don't want to go. I guess their servers are very busy. I will check back later today and try again. Sorry!

Last Speptember my wife and I went to the Quad Cities in Western Illinois for their annual balloon festival to benefit their local food pantry. These are just some of the shots we took there. There has been no PP done on any of them. We hope you enjoy them!!

I did enjoy these, very nice. That first shot must have been taken during the "blue hour." What a sky! 8-)
