just shows that its the eye of the photographer and not the equipment that makes a good shot

disposable camera? Really shows that bad photographers can't blame their suckyness on their cameras when some people can do great things like this with one. The closest balloon maybe could be lightened in photoshop but I still love this. The angle, the balloons in the sky are so lovely.

This is a perfect example of when the camera doesn't matter nearly as much as the photographer's eye. Brilliant shot, with awesome composition and a great three-dimensional feel. Excellent capture!

No, I wish I could have though, it seems like it would be a lot of fun.

I hate my hometown.... -_- Albuquerque sucks if you lived here all your life lmao.. but the one good thing about us is we dont have to worry about natrual disasters haha.

Yay! finally someone not from here that can actually spell the name correctly lol everyone else puts "K's" in there lol its funny.

But that is a nice picture, i've not once been in a balloon but my family have.. I never felt like getting up at 4am to go lol.

Yeah, Albuquerque kinda scares me. My brother had a murder happen across the street from his house. Later they found out it was the same people who stole and beheaded his dog. And he lives up by west mesa, not like in the middle of downtown or anything. But yeah, no natural disasters! You guys get some pretty scary storms though. (Although being from So Cal our idea of a bad storm is anything with thunder and lightning, lol)

Yeah getting up at 5am or whatever sucked, but it was worth it to go see all the balloons. I want to go again one of these years. And I memorized the spelling when I was in high school, because I got tired of having to look it up everytime I wanted to send my brother a letter. I can only imagine some of the creative spellings people must come up with.

lmfao yup thats Albuquerque for ya.. I live around the SE heights kinda by Highland Highschool.. yeah the storms can get scary lol the lightning always likes hitting CLOSE by or hit something by us.. Yea half the people here are crazy lunatics that belong in jail... -_- too much violence gah.. were even on the show Cops a lot of times lmao.

I like Cali ^_^ i've been there about 5 times.. though each time mom makes us go to Disneyland -_- it was fun the first time.. I've already got the entire park memorized lol. I like Universal Studios far better.. and I love shopping over there in Cali cause theres so much we don't have its fun ^_^ but thats the fun thing about going to other states. I may dislike my home but many others that come visit love it here..

But um.. yeah I think your brother should move to a better area lol sounds like a scary neighbor he has.. tell him I said to be safe lol...

Yeah i've seen some funny spellings of Albuquerque.. someone spelt it "Albukerky" lol! it was too funny

Do you live in NM? I used to live in Gallup, and the Fiesta holds much significance for my mom and step-dad.

No, I live in So Cal. But my brother and his family live in Albuquerque so I've been there many times. I find NM a very photogenic place, so I have quite a few pics from my various trips.

Did they get engaged there?
