[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The balloons do dance up and down in the sky. The pilots can gain altitude by firing up the propane and lose altitude by opening a vent in the balloon. They become very skilled at maneuvering these balloons. I’m thinking it takes a fair amount of practice.

This balloon came into the field with the ribbons just fluttering. It was such a pretty sight.

Albuquerque has a wind condition called ‘ the box’ where the balloons travel low in a southerly route along the Rio Grande river valley bottom and then catch the warm air from the valley bottom to rise and head north again—in a box shape.

Hello Joni !

I love the tilt and crop here . Very dynamic shot . Well presented too. Perhaps one day , we will enjoy a few photos taken from a balloon (^_^), and see a few shots in or out of the box (*_^).

Another awesome shot from this event. The siplicity of the image, with a very strong focal point is very effective. Amazingly, by rotaring the image a few degrees, it fits the dancing theme perfectly...well done!

Hello Joni!
I like the framing.
In this way the picture is separated into deep blue and deep red parts.

Bonsoir Joni,

Nice work you show us here. I like the tight cropping. Even if we don't see all the ballon we still recongnize it as one. Love the color contrast. Sharpness and exposure are perfect. Great shot and TFS.

Hi Joni. A great splash of red across the blue sky. The sharpness is excellent. Very fine series of these balloons in the clear skies of Albuquerque. A friend in Las Cruces enjoys it up your way. TFS. Murray.
