Well, warbirds they are not, but they are aircraft, even if they didn't fly. For the first time, a group of local enthusiasts decided to hold a hot air balloon rally at a local airport, followed by a fireworks display, so I went down with my trusty Nikon to capture some of the action. This was the first time I had photographed hot air balloons and fireworks, so I think the results are alright, but I'm sure there's room for improvement.
