paddling with a camera

At the Greeley festival I was using my Canon EOS 10D camera with Canon 70~200 f/2.8L IS lens. I had my wide angle zoom lens ready, but didn't have a chance to change. I was shooting mostly from a tripod except some shots of the balloons directly above me. I missed some fast rising balloons. It is time to upgrade my old 10D to the newest 40D.

My paddling camera, Pentax Optio W10, was busy too. Connie shot some good pictures with it.

You are welcome to see my hot air balloon slide show on Flickr. You can also hit the refresh button to see another set of pictures in the Flickr badge below.

It was a very colorful and somewhat overwhelming experience. I spent most of the day processing pictures.

I have a feeling that I will be attending these hot air balloons festivals in the future. There are a few of them every year in Colorado. Of course, there is the big balloon fiesta in Albuquerque, not so far away from me.

OK, back to paddling now.
