Description
This was my first time attending the Warren County Hot Air Balloon Festival, which was held at the fair grounds in Harmony, NJ.
Usually, I'll go to the New Jersey Lottery Festival of Ballooning, but this year I wanted to change things up and see what this festival was all about.
Normally, a sky filled with cloud drama is always welcomed to give more of a 3D quality to a photograph, but in the case of hot air balloons aloft, a deep clear blue sky works wonderfully.
I was hoping that the staggered liftoffs would occur closer to sunset, but as one of the pilots informed me, there are certain time restraints that are related to having enough light to land safely in one of the neighboring fields.
I am grateful to one of the organizers who granted me permission to have access to the balloon launch field with the agreement that I would not encroach on the process of heating up the balloons.
The general public had to remain outside of that area so that the balloon crews can do their gigs without interruption.
Besides a couple of other photographers, the only other folks allowed in, were the ones who paid for the exhilarating experience of riding in one of these spectacular balloons.
I am honored to be able to offer my photography of the beautiful Hudson Valley in New York and beyond for all of your purchasing considerations.
All of my photographs are available as prints, wall art, home decor, apparel, weekend bags, etc and are NOW offered with a canvas border, title, electronic signature and the year it was taken in 'The Signature Series Gallery'. You may continue to buy my photographs as they have always been available prior in all of my other galleries as well.
