Chinese lanterns

This is a shot of lanterns from a Chinese festival at the zoo. I thought these were so incredible! At night they lit them up, they were gorgeous. The battery went dead in my camera, common occurrence with me, so I didn't get a shot of them at night!
lovely, would love them see at night!

I hate doing a group "thank you", but I came back to my page and couldn't believe the response! Thank you, thank you, thank you, for all of your great comments! I am so flattered you have taken the time to view and comment!
And I guess I need to go back at night with a fully charged battery and take some shots! It was truly a sight to see and I owe it to you to see a shot of them!
Thank you again! I just grabbed an ice cold beer in a chilled glass and I'm ready to enjoy your awesome work! :)

They are gorgeous....great composition and color! I always carry a spare battery in my bag because I hate it when they go dead in the middle of a great picture....only problem is I often forget to take the spare out and recharge it! :)

PS - get a back-up battery! :)
June 28th, 2011  
very pretty, what a shame about the night shot :-) I could do with a spare battery too
June 28th, 2011  
Must buy a second battery and remember to carry a second memory card with me. Too often I forget to empty the one I use most and walk around trying to delete the oldest photos so I can take new ones...
April 6th, 2012  
@sheliwithani So funny you said that about your memory card! I just did that delete thing yesterday! :)
