Went up in a hot air balloon on Sunday: took a few decent ones which I'll get up for yas to have a look at soon.
This one was a grab with the 70-200: despite IS I was trying to track and not plummet to earth at the time, so forgive the technical sloppiness please...

There does not seem to be room for two balloons so close together. Almost like you were hanging on a line, taking the shots.
I found it good fun but rather hot. :|

Alright! Can't wait to see more. Ballooning is something I've always wanted to do.
