Balloon Glow, Hispanic Fest, Arnold Days

And also just a couple from S. Grand’s Fall Fest. Spent some time at all of the above between last night and today. I had the most fun at Arnold Days at probably that made for the best images, but by far the best food was Hispanic Fest.

50mm, f/5

Balloon Glow was wild and mostly a bust.  I did meet Everett who runs a YouTube called Wing Watchers Aviation and had a good conversation about that platform, photography, aviation and so on.  But that was really the highlight!  Otherwise it was overcrowded and you were set quite far back from the balloons.  For good reason I imagine with various safety concerns, but I hadn't thought about that and imagined we'd be milling about them.  I did like the above shot, though.

Wrestling at Arnold Days.  A lot of images follow because, well, I liked them.  I loved the hammy drama and facial expressions and the crowd reactions, the whole thing was just a delight to shoot.
