Balloon Classic Invitational

Jul 20

The last weekend in July is time for the Balloon Classic Invitational in North Canton, Ohio. A tradition since 1984, hot air balloons fill the sky for 2 days with the pilots participating in piloting skill competitions. On Friday evening there is a glow event that is a beautiful site to behold, which is great family entertainment. In addition to the hot air balloons there is the Jackson-Belden Food Fest, where you can enjoy your favorite carnival foods and the Friday "glow" event and the Saturday night Fireworks show. A great time for the entire family. All of this is the kickoff to the Football Hall of Fame festivities. Below are several pictures that I took at the 2010 hot air balloon event and a skydiver from the Saturday night events in July 2009.

Typically there are 75 balloons at the invitational with a great "glow" event after sunset Friday night. Relax on the hill side and enjoy the warm evening and glowing balloons. For more information about the invitational follow this link.

Photography has remained a constant in my life since I was a child. I currently shoot with Nikon D7100 and a Sony NEX-6. My iPhones have gotten a lot of use as well (currently an iPhone 6+). I take pictures of just about anything, but my favorite is cars, all types of cars. Over the years I have abandoned the tripod, and do more run and gun stuff. I am pretty good at holding the camera steady, however once in a while I dig out the Manfrotto and get a few pics. I have a photo website that contains over 8,200 pictures at Photos.BhagaVideo.com, and my blog is at Harold-Brown.com. I do everything for my own enjoyment so you will see some great pics and some not so great pics. Many of my pictures are just quick shots to remember the day. I am constantly looking at what I did in the past and changing my likes and style as time goes on. Always ready for the latest and greatest and never stuck in the past.
