Anyone Go?
I went yesterday but there was no flights in the afternoon due to the wind, they did have the tethered flights and the "Night Glow" which is set to music.
Click the photo below and it will take you to some more images, there should be a short video clip there too
Nice pic's & video KSH, shame i missed it yesterday its usually a good day out i went a few years back, lovely weather but theres that slight high wind & they didnt take off but the all managed except Thomas Tank Engine who couldnt keep it up & went floppy pmsl - all rest managed the night glow A recommended family day out
I'd have come up to that if id known, is it free entry like northamptons balloon festival?
I did ask somewhere if you had one up that way but don't think anyone answered.

I didn't see it advertised, we just stumbled upon it, its free parking but £3 per person to get in
oh thats ok. Northampton is free to get in but costs to park, so we normally get an allday ticket in the towns carpark and walk accross.
The ballon shots I entered in to one of the comps were took there on my canon ae1 program, Slide, and scanned using paperport.
I've got an A-1 A t-90 A practica Nova II with the old screw thread, and a pentax spotmatic F I found in a charity shop for 50p.
I've got flashes for the cannons of course. A few lenses, a nice 300mm that works well with a 2x convertor.
Trouble is it's expensive due to having to pay for a photograph if it's good or not, although I think you'd struggle to take a bad pic at a baloon festival. Most will be average, but then you get a few really good ones, like the one you posted at the start.
