This morning – up at oh-pre-dawn-thirty to catch the hot air balloon launch at the annual Northwest Art & Air Festival in Albany, Oregon.
I might post more photos a bit later – but I thought I’d toss a few out there quickly.
If you’re in the Willamette Valley this weekend – these folks (weather permitting) are also scheduled for Saturday and Sunday morning. If you’re able to make it out there – I might suggest trying to arrive no later than 6:15 – as there’s a lot of action leading up to the actual launch.
Wow! Love the balloons! Great shots.
Wow, really great shots. I hope to see more! Mind if I ask what body/lens you used?
Best

Thanks for the feedback, David. To answer your question – it’s a 50D + Canon 17-55 f/2.8 IS combo. Only had the lens for a bit over a month now – but it’s been a joy to use.
Ooo–that is a cool lens (..even for a..*cough*..canon..). Nice work then!
