Bumble Bee Balloon

Lake Havasu City,AZ

This is a new balloon at the Balloon Fest this year.

This is a pretty big crop, and I had a 1.4x TC on my lens. The balloon was about 2 miles away, and the mountains in the background are several miles away (in California).

LOL! I have shots of this same balloon when they brought it up here to the WInthrop Balloon rally a couple of years ago. There's a family of them, and we had two at our event when I saw them. Looks really good for such a tight crop!

Wow! Great quality at distance.
I was about to say the balloon was over the top, but, nah....
