Location
This photo was taken at the Hot Air Balloon Festival in the Adirondacks in September 2019.Time
This shot was taken around 6:00 pm during the evening balloon launch.Lighting
It was a picture perfect day with plenty of sunshine and beautiful clear blue skies. The sun was just starting to get lower in the skies behind me.Equipment
This was actually taken on my iPhone 8 - no tripod, flash or other gear that I would ordinarily carry!Inspiration
This was my first time attending a hot air balloon festival; although it was something I’ve always wanted to see. I was so very excited to be where there were literally 100 balloons or more all in various degrees of launch.Editing
This shot is straight out of camera; no post processing whatsoever. ????In my camera bag
I ordinarily carry my Nikon 7000, a tripod, speed light and assorted lenses.Feedback
This venue had absolutely no barriers and people were free to wander amongst the balloons and speak with the pilots. Take advantage of whatever opportunities present themselves and take as many shots as you can from various perspectives, heights, locations, etc. Follow your passion and enjoy every moment!!
