On Saturday I had taken some candid street shots at the farmer's market with the challenge in mind. Then on Sunday there was a brunch at church that my wife had organized. She had rented a helium tank for some balloons, and I was in charge of returning after the brunch. It seemed a waste to return the tank when it still had helium in it. So I emptied it using balloons also left over from the brunch. Then I thought I would grab one of my girls and head out to the lake for some fun pictures. Sadly, I waited all day but both were far too busy for a photo shoot with their father. At about 9:30pm (1 1/2 hours before rollover for me) I got frustrated that I had all of these nice balloons going to waste, so I grabbed them and went to the location of my DQ'd Umbrella challenge entry. This shot is essentially my Umbrella entry in which I swapped my daughter with an umbrella for me with the balloons. I like the Umbrella shot better. The umbrella spread the light so nicely, but these clear balloons are interesting. I sped home and barely had time to sort through them and do some quick editing before the deadline.

Congratulations Mark, you did very well, especially considered the pressure. I love how you managed to still be creative despite of it. Ah and you are so right, the balloons look really awesome!
