Fisheye Glow

Albuquerque, NM

This is a composite of 4 images to catch most of the balloons in the FOV lit up during the last Balloon Glow event
at the 2013 Albuquerque International Balloon Festival. Unfortunately, the timing never was quite right to have all
of the balloons glowing at the same time so this was my attempt to show what could have been.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II ,Canon EF 8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM
1/30s f/4.0 at 8.0mm iso1250, hand held, cropped for square comp full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Wow, your technique of combining images to light up all the balloons
is brilliant. Too bad they don't time all the balloons to glow together, that
would be quite the beautiful sight to behold. V

absolutely enthralling...the varying viewpoints conjure up a kinetic sense, and there must have been a buzz at this moment...the variations in illumination add to the pulse...a tour-de-force image....V
