About the Image(s)

We had the luck of riding in a hot air balloon. The flame that is seen in the photo is used to raise the balloon and to direct it.

Great shot Dave. I am always trailed to see what you brave folks do while in the blood. Love this shot. It almost looks like the pilot is tripping to burn up the balloon.

I am sure that you got many great images during the flight, but this shot is one for the memory of what is really going on to raise the balloon to new heights. Jerry   Posted: 05/02/2023 08:23:51

Nice capture, Dave. I can hear the burner and feel the heat. The flame is well represented even if it's a bit blown out in the center - but that was a difficult exposure situation. All leading lines and the flame point to the peak of the balloon. The balloon is colorful, too. I'm sure it was a fun ride!

I have always wanted to take a saloon ride, but have never managed it, Even when PSA conferenced in Albuquerque. You have captured the thrill and color beautifully.   Posted: 05/02/2023 19:04:39

That's one of the best shots of this moment and place that I've seen. It has, lines, patterns, colors and a story. It all seems to work. Nice going!   Posted: 05/05/2023 13:59:16

It's fun and intriguing to watch a hot air balloon being inflated. You really got in close and personal. All the lines lead up to the top of the balloon and what an explosion of fire. You captured it all. Bravo!   Posted: 05/13/2023 14:45:45
