Top Guns Daze..

Today.. this morning... dang. before 7 am I was heading out to meet up with what I thought was the Hare for the Top Gun balloon competitors... Turns out he wasn't the Hare at all but that didn't stop me from getting a bunch of pictures of him as well as a couple of other balloons taking off in the area. I did hang two GoPro cameras from his burner frame on short stub clamps and the video is good but does not have the width of field view I like. I will fool around with it later and see if I can edit something interesting out of it. Here are some of the photographs today tone mapped.. since that is my thing right now...

Love the hat.. I need a hat like that... maybe with green pom pom ears or something. 

How bout we call this one
