WOW! Shots like this deserves to win a grand prize!Gunther Allen March 22, 2006
I cut my hand, so I have to type with one hand today. I will do a group thank you for all your well wishes. I guess it was one of those being in the right place at the right time shots. This was my first balloon trip and I'm sure to do it again. The great thing is that it moves slow enough to get some great shots and even though this was taken very early the shutter speed wasn't affected due to the slow movement. At 1/1000 it is almost like using a tripod at a much slower speed. Again thanks everyone! -G #2564249Heather L. Jacks March 23, 2006
