Last Tuesday I indicated that my computer was dying and was to the point that I could barely even do any kind of photo editing. The good news is that I have replaced my old broken down computer with a new goodness. The bad news is that because of AI and datacenters, the prices of anything computer related as gone through the roof! I mean, it was bad enough they were destroying our environment and accelerating man made climate change. It got real when a guy can’t get some RAM for under 300 bucks. But the great news is that the new computer flies and some of the advanced Photoshop and Lightroom features that the old rig couldn’t handle any longer (like masking and even presets) are back at my disposal. In fact, I might have over did some of the masking in a few of these images. But I’ll let you decide.
Here is another collection of images from the 2025 National Balloon Classic from last year I attended with Teresa and Ernie.
Still a ton of images from this great night left to share!
