Balloons over Monument Valley... I cheated. I did this photo as one of an 8 part series that I wanted to finish before Christmas last year. This was the last of the series. I went to Monument Valley in December, purchased their photographer's permit and prepared for the balloon launch. Over the 3 days of the festival, the weather was foggy, snowy and windy. They didn't launch a single flight. I had been to the Albuquerque Balloon festival in October and shot some photos beginning predawn and captured three balloons firing at the same time in the early morning sky flying southward. Monument Valley was available to me the last evening, looking northward, so I combined the sky from Albuquerque after the sun ready to rise to left, with Monument Valley after the sun had set to the left. Enjoy the manipulation!
