I went last weekend to the Balloon Festival. It was so much fun! I got to Clark Saturday afternoon, and caught the aerobatics. I came back Sunday morning just to catch the ballon fly-out. It was early morining and overcast so most of the ballon pics weren't so bright. I took them using RAW + JPG, so I'm planning to process some of my shots. Any tips from the expert RAW masters out there? Here's the link to my pics.
Here are a few pics:

I missed the hot air balloons but managed a few shots.
