Title: Balloon Pictures
Post by: russkie on September 24, 2005, 10:57:44 pm
Hi,

I'm new to the forum and I'm not sure where to post my question.  

I'm going to the Albuquerque Balloon Festival this coming weekend (First Time).  I only have a day and one half so I'm trying to do a little homework prior to taking pictures. I've got a Canon Digital SLR.

Does anyone have any advise for shooting daylight balloon shots and nightime shots at the balloon glows? What type of lens to use, wide angle or telephoto? What type of shot settings to use in the daytime and at the balloon glows?  I guess mainly Iso speed, aperture and f stop? Or any advise.

Thanks,
Russkie
