I had the pleasure of attending my first balloon rally last weekend in Prosser, Washington. All I can say is that it's an explosion of color that everyone should enjoy. The following are just a few of the photos I took at the rally.
Ballooning in Prosser started 20 years ago when balloon pilot Ted Wirch came to town to give his in-laws a balloon ride. During Ted's flight over Prosser he realized just what a beautiful place Prosser really is. He decided there and then that he had to tell other balloonist about the great flying there was to be had in the skies over Prosser.
Make sure you click on each photo for a closer look. Enjoy!!

Oops...the official voting doesn't start until September 16th. I now realize you are only rating my photo so it can be considered for the final competition :)
This Fall, Aaron Brothers is celebrating the beauty of American life! There are so many truly spectacular things about our country and our lifestyles - from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Statue of Liberty to a family picnic on warm summer day. Aaron Brothers is celebrating America's spontaneous moments and great monuments.
My photo "The Astoria-Megler Bridge" is my entry into their contest. You can rate it as many "stars" that you think it's worth at the following link:

air mancorI took this 2 years ago...I loved how the ground lit up and took on an almost surreal look, like a painting!
For those photographers out there - just a note about shooting fireworks...if you have this function on your camera, turn on "Noise Reduction". It's used to eliminate noise in the dark areas of long exposures. I've had a lot of success using that feature. The one drawback using this function, as in this case, was that I had to wait 10 seconds for the function to eliminate any noise before I shot another photo...but I think the wait was worth it!
