A Natural Glow 2010
Did I submit the first shot from the Legends Balloon Rally 2010 in Hot Springs? I ran right home with the camera ... posting this photo about 90-minutes after I took it!

commented over 1 year agoI was in such a hurry yesterday I forgot to mention that I love it that is the "Arkansas...is a natural Balloon". I know you had that in mind and it makes this shot even better.

commented over 1 year agoThere are actually TWO of the "is a Natural" balloon (both owned by the state ... tourism board, I'd guess) and they were both there - along with the debut of a new Hot Springs balloon. I lucked-out on the position of this shot, and it forms a companion-piece to "A Natural Glow" - a similar shot I took in 2008 (you can see it on this site too - it's one of my more popular ones!)
Thanks for the compliments - and believe me that I'm as sorry about the game as you are!

commented over 1 year agoI tried for some shots, but got a big zero. I'll try again next year. But my question is..... how do you do the soft HDR effect?

Mark Corder
commented over 1 year agoNope - I think that was a guy from the local paper. (Though I had considered asking - and may next year!) I shot this from the ground, right at the edge of the runway 5/23 ...

commented over 1 year agoI must have been standing not far from you! Did they keep running you off of the runway, too? Small world! I posted mine on flickr http://flic.kr/p/8ETgDz

commented over 1 year agoWOW! Yours is a knockout! Looks like it was taken about the same time - but that sunset and the "balloon-glowing" only lasted a few minutes. You must have been just west (further down the runway) from me. I was actually on the taxiway and they didn't shoo me off. I'm the guy with the long-red beard and straw hat ... look for me around and don't be a stranger!

commented over 1 year agoOops, I see now that you went Friday night instead of Saturday, so guess we were a little further apart than I thought :D
Mark Corder
commented over 1 year agoLOL! - I left before the balloons fired-up on Saturday... See ya next year?
