Arizona Balloon Classic {2013}

We had so much fun at the Arizona Balloon Classic when we attended last year, we decided to go again this year.  Of course, I took my camera along to grab some shots of the balloons.

I opted to shoot these with my 24-70 lens because I remembered thinking that I'd felt limited by the focal length of my 70-200 last year.  However, after looking at both sets of photos I've decided that I prefer the photos shot with the longer lens because I was able to capture the people up in the balloons better with it. Regardless, it's impossible to go wrong with photos of hot air balloons!

Here are some of my favorites from this year:

As always, thanks for stopping by!
