I went to the field this morning, which gives you a different perspective on the balloons and the crowd. Since it was Tuesday, the number of people was about half of what they get on the two Saturdays and Sundays.
Abobe upgraded Bridge, Photoshop, and Camera Raw, and I got errors opening most of my photos. I finally gave up on troubleshooting the issue and processed the images in On1 Photo Raw.

Love this! a magnificent “perspective!”
Thanks, Cynthia.
Glad you got to the field, Timothy. My favorite was photographing at White Sands while crewing. Can’t take a bad photo while in the midst of the balloons!
True. Thanks, Cheyenne.
There are so many magnificent balloons! Thank you so much for putting this show together for those of us who cannot be there to see it!
You are welcome, Lavinia. I’m happy I can share it with you.
GREAT photos!! I especially love the ones in the dark, the gif, and the under-udder shots!!
Thanks, leenda.
A realy impressive event Timothy !! Thanks for the load of magnificant pictures 🙂
You are welcome, Rudi.
What a splendid showing.
Thanks, Roberta.
Wow…!! What a wonderful show and collection of amazing balloons. I’m sure it must be very impressive to see this as a spectator…
It is. Thanks, Herman.
These are amazing photographs – Thank you:)
Thanks, Janet.
I forgot to ask.. what on earth is an “erotic” funnel cake??
It’s “Exotic Funnel Cake” but I have no idea.
As I was writing that, I thought I should go re-read the pic, but then decided it would be funny if I was wrong.
Either way, it’s weird and funny.
Great to see some on the ground shots .
Thanks, Shey.
Fantastic that all these varieties of balloons can fulfill their purpose as flying objects. (Love this cow!)
The cow is great. I met a photographer from Germany at the field. Thanks, Heidi.
The balloons against the night sky are quite striking!
They are. Thanks, Liz.
You’re welcome, Tim.
Spectacular show and that glowing Dawn Patrol is super!
Thanks, Marina.
I’ll keep it simple.
WOW!
Thanks, Dale.
What makes a funnel cake exotic?
I have no idea. Thanks, Teri.
It’s very clever how you have made the second one flash.
Thanks, Susan. It’s pretty flashy.
You’ve stunned me again, Tim. Marvellous!
Great stuff!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
Thank you for the amazing pictures!
One of the most creative and fun stuff I’ve seen in a while. The world needs a lot more of this and a lot less of conflict and division. Your photography truly stands out. Thanks for sharing the beauty of the world with us through your work.
Wonderful images! So much to see. 🙂
wow, love the light show Tim!🙌🏽❣️
Those balloons are so cool – I definitely have to make my way to a launch some year, can’t imagine how entertaining that is.
Very entertaining. Thanks, Brian.
I’m working backwards here, and every balloon post is more spectacular than what came before.
The glowing dawn patrol is quite cool, Tim.
