Hi Everyone!!

Hope you've all had a better week than me--been snowed
in all week here.  

I'm looking for some tips for photographing balloons. 
I'm tossing around the idea of a brochure. 
Photography is definitely not my strong suit.  I want
to be able to get the best pictures possible, and
would like to know what to do with lights, backgrounds
(I've already discovered that less is more), etc.  I
have access to a digital camera, and so far I've
gotten decent pictures for myself, but they're not
good enough for a brochure.

I also want some candid shots of kids experiencing the
balloons.  How do you all go about getting permission
to use the pictures?  If you get good pics at a
festival or whatever, do you have to get the parents'
permission to use them in your literature?  I have
some relatives and friends that will give their
permission with no problem.

Thanks,
Veronica
