This is our first time witnessing the popular balloon fiesta in Albuquerque, NM. Every year the state hold this week long event from Oct. 1 -9, and many hot air balloon owners from all over the world join this fiesta. It is so nice to watch all the colorful balloons up in the air in different sizes, shapes and themes.
We have to get up as early as 5AM as the event starts at 545AM, the location is very convenient to our place which is 5mins drive. The only gadget I have with me is my Nikon D3100 and my 300mm telephoto lens. It's set to A Mode, F/22 as I want to get an over all clear photos, also set to RAW +Jpeg so I can freely edit my favorites later on.
The Monday (10/03) event started with the Dawn Patrol. I bet of course Intel is one of the sponsors.
