An Aerial Panorama of Lake Jindabyne, New South Wales, Australia

Completed in 1967, Jindabyne Dam is a major dam, located approximately 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) south south-east of the relocated town of Jindabyne. The dam was constructed by a consortia of Utah-Brown and Sudamericana based on engineering plans developed under contract by the Snowy Mountains Hydroelectric Authority.Construction of the dam flooded the settlement of Old Jindabyne that accommodated approximately 300 people. Parts of Old Jindabyne can be seen when the levels of Lake Jindabyne are low. The settlement of East Jindabyne is located above what was Old Jindabyne (wikipedia)

I still have not got my perfect moon shot, but I am slowly getting there. I love the exposure on this one, I just need to find the perfect tree. This one was taken at Newnes.

Fire Goalcanowindra balloon glow 2016

Fire Goal

Before the glow, the baskets went around in front of the crowd firing their burners. On a cool night, it was well welcomed, amazing how much heat comes out of them.

Baby Balloon

This shot gives a feeling of the event and just how many people attend. While I have been meaning to come for some time, its the first time I have actually made it out. Personally I really enjoyed it, thanks to everyone involved in putting it on.

UP

Pretty sure this is the guy from the Disney movie UP. I love the movement in this half second exposure, really looks like he is struggling to keep it down. The little balloon had a Storm Trooper in the basket :)

Balloon Glow Whale

The big whale was pretty cool, you can the back of it in this shot, but it didn't glow very bright.

Balloon Glow Tight

Balloon Glow Streak

The Cool effect of some people walking past with their mobile phone light. Thought I would chuck it in there, also shows some nice variation in balloon brightness

Nudie Glow

Nudie Juice right? At least he is covering up. I love the Aviation registration VH-NUD

Kavanagh Balloons

I think this was one of my favorite balloons. So simple, but there was something elegant about the way it lit up.

Balloon Glow Finale

At the end of the show, All the balloons briefly lit up. A great site, I think the photographer in the foreground adds to this one :)
