Photographing events like the Bristol Balloon Fiesta can be quite a challenge. The above image was taken back in 2008 when rain cancelled the main evening show we really went to photograph. This put me off to the point where I ended up not going this summer, when by all accounts the weather was fantastic! Still at least we did capture a few balloons getting off the ground. Here you can just about make out five balloons ready for lift off.
Taking only photographs – leaving only footprints
