Camera Labs

Day 1 at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and I am already offended! Aperantly Nikon is a major sponsor of this even so every where I go I have to see Nikon flags. Not only that, I have to walk around with Nikon around my neck Didn't they get the word I shoot Canon!! Just kidding

Welcome to the 'Fun side'

Crud morning flights a bust, winds are too high and not looking good for the evening session either. I got up at 3:30am and all I got was a picture of a horse

You can always scrub out the Canon lable and replace it with Nikon, then you would fit in.


Cheers

I agree with the above, #2 is my favorite with the golden colours. I see from the exif you used manual white balance, what did you choose.


Cheers

Thanks for the comments. At night i use sunlight as my white balance so it stays kinda neutral then i correct in raw or lightroom.

I have a bunch from this mornings launch (that was a cluster) but i'm taking a brake from the ride home. Should have them posted sometime tomorrow
