Went to a hot air balloon festival. Arrived just as the sun came up and as the balloons were being filled and taking off. By the time I left the skies had clouded up, but my work was done!

Love these shots! So colorful and unique. The perfect farewell to summer.
I think with all of the magnificent color and spectacle, my favorites are actually “Visitors” and “Father and Son.” Combining the human element with the sheer scale of the balloons is masterful. Great job, Ellen!
What fun! The balloons are so varied and you captured the color so perfectly against that bright August sky!
“Twins” is my favorite. Love the primary colors. But the characters are great! Darth Vader is a great sight gag! Imagine looking up in the sky and spotting him floating by!
Really nice shots. Where were these taken?
Thanks. I did a shoot at the New Jersey Festival of Ballooning in Whitehouse Station, NJ at the end of July. Really fun – next time maybe I’ll go up in one!
Great exhibition! Dinner is still my favorite – such a great sense of humor. The colors are so vivid and enticing.
There’s something so whimsical about hot air balloons in summer! I love these and it doesn’t hurt that I giggle everytime I see Darth Vader floating through the sky next to some rainbow colored compadres. Perfect way to end the summer collection 🙂
You’ve captured the joyous and colorful spectacle with great wit and humor. It’s impossible to pick a favorite because they are all so delightful, but since I am a twin, I have to vote for that one. Exhilarating show!
