Here are 3 shots from the Chagrin Falls hot air balloon festival thing..
I have a friend who's got family that flies one, so I was let right on to the field - pretty sweet.

As always feel free to comment on whatever especially if you see something I goofed up on.

And 3 more shots from the concert afterward at the 'Blossom Time' carnival. Band is the Alan Greene Band.. the guy can really play the hell out of that guitar. They played Allman Bros' "One Way Out" and Clapton's "Old Love" among some other songs I can't remember and they did an outstanding job.

Shooting live music in the dark is hard... this was my first attempt and I didn't want to annoy the band too much.

I like #1 and #3
Would be nice if the sky was a little deeper blue but nice.

I spent a three day weekend photographing a hot air balloon festival back in the 1980's, and the first photo of the guy handling the balloon on the ground is really 'speaking to me'. Excellent shot! What really makes it for me are the man's white gloves, played against the cartoon character, also with white hands. It's a neat photo!

Thanks guys! #1 is definitely my favorite as well.
