Tigard Balloon Festival 2015-1356

Having never been to a Balloon Festival, I thought this would be a good event to go take some camera shots. It was glorious the first morning, so I decided to attend the second morning. Well the weather did not cooperate at all with clouds and very flat light. Disappointing but I got a few shots that I figured I would post.

It was pretty interesting watching them “cold inflate” with fans, then when they got upright you the hot air flowing. It looked like the teams for each balloon was from 6 to 8 folks.

I think there were about 20 balloons total, I do with the sky was clear with the sunrise making them glow but so be it.
