I didn't get a chance to get out much for shots so this and the next photo are from the Plainsville Ct Balloon Festival back in 2013, was a fun event to get to, many balloons and live music, made for a great day.

As you can see its quite a popular event with Balloons taking off early morning and then again later in the day.

I haven't been able to make it back for this annual event since but maybe this year I can make it

And I thought I should share one shot with a Balloon Airborne from the same event

All great photographs @tattoodjay! I love the color in those balloons :)
Good luck in the contest!

[tattoodjay]

Thanks I felt bad not getting all new shots and having to pull out shots from 5 years ago LOL

[dmcamera]

Those are cool and colorful shots, and I love the seagull in flight too! I love that contest, but keep forgetting to check it out! thanks for the reminder. :-)

[tattoodjay]

I am always leaving this contest to the last minute just get sidetracked but this week I was looking for shots that would fit in the city but with it being a wet and grey week it wasnt the good week LOL

[dmcamera]

I was super busy with the golf tournament last week, and this week has been crazy while I try to catch up on a whole slew of stuff! The weather was glorious last week, but we have been experiencing monsoon weather every day this week. It will continue to pour tomorrow and Sunday too! I'm so glad TPC was not this week!

I'm going to be out of the loop pretty much through the end of May after next Monday, but will be checking in to Upvote and Comment if and when I get the chance!

All the more reason I want to go to the states, always wanted to bring my kids on to a hot air balloon ride and the colors in your pictures are so vibrant, great skills you have man.

[tattoodjay]

Ohh yeah going up in a balloon is such a rush

Have a great weekend

[dksart]

Nice shots :) those balloons look really cool

[tattoodjay]

Thanks

Have a great weekend

[sultnpapper]

Love the hot air balloon shots, I have had he chance to ride in a couple of them before and loved it. I have since changed my mind about doing it again since the balloon accident here in Texas which killed a bunch of folks.

[tattoodjay]

Yes I remember that incident and that would put people off, I have bene up in three I think over the years, one here in the states and two overseas, the one in Africa was my last one, let me just say there safety features were non existent LOL

[helena-m]

Extraordinary photos!
Have a good weekend :)

[tattoodjay]

Thanks

you to Have a great weekend

Incredible colours in the first photo, it really makes the balloons stand out from the photo in a 3D effect.

The gull is perfect as well, super timing to get it in perfect flight like that.

Thanks I had to reedit the photos of the balloons my edits from 2013 were terrible LOL

The gull was testing out my new camera was so happy how they came out

[claudiaz]
