Balloons Over The Mississippi

I took this photo at the annual Balloons over the Mississippi event in Ft. Madison Iowa. During the festival, the balloonists have a "Balloon Glow" where they light up their balloons once it gets dark. It is a spectacular site, and this photo shows several of the 20 balloons the participated.

I used my Pentax K10D SLR with a Tamron 18-200 lens, at an f/13, ISO 100, and a four second exposure time.
