Photographer's Description

Taken at the Prosser Balloon Fair, they light up the balloons at night to dazzle the crowds with the flames and brilliant colors. I was lucky enough to get this from the infield! Evidently, there is quite an art to getting these inflated. First they fill them full of cool air with big fans and then careful hit the burners to inflate them further with hot air. They carefully angle the flames so as not to burn the silk!

WOW! That IS Spectacular! Great symetrical composition, great colors and detail. Very original capture of balloons! The darkness adds tremendously to the image. Love it Mike! Nice capture

"Lucky enough" Eh? Seems like the harder you work, the luckier you get. Brilliant photo. The other balloons in the background are the perfect framing for central one. If this doesn't sell it means tha no one is looking.

Spectacular capture of these balloons at night; I don't think it can be done any better!

Something a little different from you. Great shot with a super composition, color and details. Excellent capture of textures.

Creative perspective on this beautiful craft. The fire is well located at the bottom center of the photo.

Amazing colours,mood and detail. A great addition to an already outstanding portfolio, Mike.

the visual line of this shot beautiful match its physics; as the eye is drawn upward by the escalation of color, so travels the heat; appropriate dark background; excellent composition and detail, Mike

Fantastic balloon shot. The light against the nighttime sky and the other balloons is just super. Great clarity, too.

Brillant colours....luckely you were in front of this burner that lighting up the ballon so wondeful...
 
Former member wrote 8 years ago (Sep 26, 2004 05:07 AM EST)  
Nicely exposed, as it's just perfect. I like the pattern deflated ballons in the background make too.

This is a nice one, I like the close crop with the light of the burner illuminating the balloon from the inside.
