Hot Air Balloon Festival Part 1

For the past three years I've been planning to visit the Hot Air Balloon Festival and finally this year I was able to do so! Thanks to Meg's friend I was able to go inside the launching area and shoot the balloons up close! :) I took these photos about 2/3 of a stop done to bring out the detail of the sky. Since I shot all of these in RAW format I just compensated it in Aperture. I'll post more pics in the next few days!
