Photo Ops for October 2007

By Megan • Oct 2nd, 2007 • Category: News for Creatives (archives)

Lori Fredrickson reports for Pop Photo:

“Where: Albuquerque, NM. When: October 6-14. What: The largest festival of its kind in the world draws up to 750 hot air balloons and 100,000 spectators. Kicking off with a mass ascension each day at 7 a.m., where the varicolored giants make their slow climb through a crisp blue sky, the week will be packed with dawn patrols, nighttime illuminations, and special balloons shaped like cows. Tips: Rise early to catch the sunrise over Sandia Crest while the balloons are being inflated — bring a wide-angle lens so that you can get close-ups of the balloons. But don’t forget a telephoto lens for later sky shots. Info: www.balloonfiesta.com; 888-422-7277.”
