Ladenburg is not only a very interesting old roman founded (90BC) pitoresque town - it also hosts the largest German baloon festival each year, with about 20.000 people attending. I only had time to be there at one of the three festival days, the "balloon glowing" night...

I tried some wides...Nikon D200 handheld at night, ISO1250, f2, very noisy, so bare with me...

... Shocked I didn't even know that there is a ISO 1250 which can be used. Very useable results though...

Cheers

Thanks Tobias, with these night shots you can at least hide some noise playing with gamma/contrast... Wink (D200 allaws a High ISO setting in its menu)

Woa, nice ones, Klaus! 2,4, and 5 are faves! Great atmosphere in 5.

Thanks! Yes, it was mainly about the atmosphere - unfortunately that effect of the blasting gas burners cannot be made visible (tried it though...). They played "Also spake Zarthustra" while that was happening...my neck hair was standing straight up...

Interesting that you should post these Klaus...I just went to a Balloon Festival locally & got some of the "glow" shots as well. Balloons are so photogenic subjects aren't they?...Here's a link to my Flickr site with a set from it (some photos of old tractors & my wife as well)
