Early morning Dawn Patrol, initial illumination of the balloons.
Due to cloud cover, the balloons never got off the ground this morning.
Converted from RAW in Adobe Lightroom beta 3 for Windows - first attempt at this. Exported to CS2 for final sizing for Pbase.

Canon EOS 20D ,Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
1/5s f/5.6 at 17.0mm iso100 full exif

Rafi is correct, the third balloon never illuminated more than this due to it's colors.

I love the contrast of the early morning sky against the glow of the balloons. Janet

Excellent exposure.. (Jess) the third is darker because of the colour of the balloon..

Great exposure for the first two balloons and the colour is excellent, the third balloon is a bit dark but great photo all the same.
