About the Image(s)

The “Glow” event takes place in the evening or night when the balloons are inflated but not launched. The burners are used to keep the balloons inflated. The glow of the flame through the balloon fabric creates a warm glow. This image is a panorama of five individual images stitched in Lightroom. The raw images were stitched together and cropped first. Then some luminance, contract, and light sharpening adjustments were made. Resizing was done in FastStone. Exposure settings were s=1/80s ??“ 1/120s, f/4, and ISO 200. The Canon 6D ii with a 24-105 mm lens set at 50 mm was hand-held.
