On Location: Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta Albuquerque, NM

Location: Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta Albuquerque, NM

Shot list : This is not really a location but it is absolutely a must do. The Balloon Fiesta is typically in early October.

There are a lot of opportunities to get some tremendous shots while down there. Yes, there will be a LOT of people with cameras. Yes, you will have to deal with heads in your shots (unless you get creative). Is it worth is? ABSOLUTELY!

You will want to do AT LEAST 1 Mass Assent in the morning and 1 glow at night. There is also a key grab that will let you get some nice shots of the balloons in flight and low to the ground. Read moreRead more
