There was a 'private event' at Sackville Lodge, Riseley on Saturday 27th September which saw numerous balloons being inflated and flown during the day.
Despite a very foggy start, the fog not clearing until around 11:30am several balloons were inflated and flown during the afternoon/evening, normal flying activities continued during the inflations/flying which allowed for some interesting backgrounds to some of my images!!
After spending much of the morning building it, they flew it in the afternoon!

Thanks for looking, I will add some balloon images later

Very nice clear, sharp pics Some seem cropped a bit close in my opinion.

Nice Chris, as you say - interesting backgrounds! I actually like the close crops, they have bags of energy in them.

Thanks for the comments guys
MrAngry - not a case of cropping too close, that was how I intended the shot to come out, its a type of photography i enjoy, adds 'drama' to the image in my opinion.
Paul - thanks for your comment
