Last weekend I joined several friends for the second annual Lantern Festival in Fountain, CO. This event takes place all over the United States and there are several events like it across the world. Thousands of people arrive in a field (or in our case a speedway), wait until dusk, and then light and release rice paper lanterns.
I dusted off my Canon Digital Rebel and spent all night fiddling with the aperture and shutter speed. It had been a few years since I attempted night photography. Unfortunately only a handful of the 120+ photos I took were properly exposed and had little to no blur. Here are a few of the results. Enjoy.
