Two:


I absolutely love this photo taken at the High Hopes Balloon Festival, Milford NH, June 2005. The camera I used was a Canon Digital Rebel. I am still attempting to adjust to the newfangled-ness of digital photography, so I am not sure how to figure out the actual settings I used for the shot. I love my Digital Rebel, but I still love my Mum's old Minolta with an 80-200mm zoom lens on it and my fairly newer, Nikon FM10.
I took the photo in my first post (One:) with my Nikon FM10 with a multi-coated polarizer on it, and may I say that every SLR photographer should make a polarizer their second filter purchase (after the UV filter to protect the lens, of course). I bought my first polarizer in 2004 and it has changed my life.
As to the High Hopes Balloon Festival, please visit the website at http://www.milfordnh.com/highhopes/festival.htm, the festival is for a good cause and it is amazing to see the giant balloons inflate and then float away.
