From the pressure of jumping a new site with new obstacles to the tight landing areas and changing conditions, to the cheers and smiles of the crowds, a successful demo is just plain fun. Skydive New England performs a half dozen skydiving demonstrations in and around New England within their short but BUSY season. By spreading awareness and education about this amazing sport in the community, more and more New Englanders are getting addicted to SKYDIVING every year! We look forward to skydiving with all the new friends we made at the Great Falls Balloon Festival. - Harry Parker

Saturday Morning Ascension at Railroad Park. The weather was perfect and so pilots were already inflating as I arrived and searched for a parking space not too far from the main launch field. The challenge in shooting for this event is the many remote locations for launches. The "main" field is reserved for special shapes and, I suppose, pilots meeting some other criteria unknown to me. To my joy, the "Hampshire High" balloon was on the main field, piloted today by André Boucher. André's balloon company suffered a tragic fire at the beginning of August, but he continues to fly with the help of this airship on loan. I'd wanted to get some close-up photos of this balloon, and was thrilled to see André back at it. In the video, you'll see him tip his hat to the spectators below as the balloon rises. As they say, it's all good. Another neat sight was all three "Hamilton" balloons in the air -- of course I wasn't close enough to get good photos, but I snapped photos anyway. I wasn't feeling well, so I took off for the drive home without waiting to see if any balloons took a circular route and managed to dip in the Androscoggin. Enjoy.

I just visited Niagara fall and I fell in love with. Its simply stunning. I shot the video of Balloon festival also and decided to share with you .
Due to remote launch areas (and a few other factors) I did not and could not capture all the balloons which launched, but did manage to get the special shapes in. This was actually a frustrating shoot - evident in a lot of the camera shake you see, which I tried my best to eliminate (with apologies for what remains). I'm not listing all of the balloon names, but should you need one, just leave a comment with a timestamp and I will happily provide it.
