Going Leafing...

  I flew my camera on another balloon this week to try and capture the Aspen leaves changing up in the mountains.  It was pretty excellent conditions and I think I got some good stuff!  This photo is from 95,000 feet above Floyd Hill.  We had to hike a little ways, but it was well worth it.

  I also had my GoPro taking video of the balloon when it popped and got some incredible images of the latex balloon bursting.  My favorite is the one where it just starts showing the first sign of popping, but most people prefer the later ones when it really gets shredding.  The latex dust "sphere" left behind is also pretty cool.
