Up, Up, and Away! – Hot Air Balloon Photography at the Chester County Balloon Festival

Get ready for an unforgettable photography adventure as we chase color, light, and lift-off at the Chester County Balloon Festival! This vibrant event is packed with picture-perfect moments — from the dramatic inflation of massive balloons on the ground, to their graceful ascent into the sky, to the dazzling night glow that lights up the evening.
In this exciting hands-on workshop, we’ll guide you through a variety of camera settings, lens choices, and compositional techniques to help you capture stunning shots at every stage of the action. Whether you're aiming for close-ups of balloon textures and flames or wide-angle scenic views of the sky filled with color, we’ve got you covered.
Perfect for all skill levels — just bring your camera, your curiosity, and your sense of wonder.
