Weekly Photo Challenge: Launch

Sparrow leaves its perch — A black-capped chickadee immediately after lift off. A blur of motion.

Fireworks at the Pittsfield, NH hot air balloon rally. — My favorite fireworks image from the 2010 Pittsfield, NH Hot Air Balloon Rally.

Hor air balloons glow at night — "Night Glow" Hot air balloons glow at night. The mixture is adjusted on the flame, so the balloon is illuminated from within without lifting off.

dragsters at the starting line. — A pair of dragsters wait for the green, at New England Dragway, Epping, NH.

  Thank you very much. The colors of the fireworks, almost now enhancement in post by the way, really grabbed my eye. Not the colors I’m used to seeing in fireworks.

  Thanks! I’ve always really liked the shot, but I never really knew what to do with it. I think “Launch” really fit.

As luck would have it, I’m an idiot. The bird in the first image is a black-capped chickadee, not a sparrow. Silly me 🙂
