Just before sunrise - 06:40Lighting
The sun is just below the horizon and will soon break the soft hues.Equipment
Nikon D4S and Nikkor 24-70mm 2.8 EDInspiration
I was fortunate that there was another hot air balloon, as without it there would be no point of reference and nothing but a desert landscape, making any image dull and flat. However, this was a very fleeting moment, as the air made us drift apart shortly after this shot.Editing
Darkened midtones. Reduced highlight, shadows, whites and blacks. Increased vibrance and clarity.In my camera bag
D4s & D5. Nikkor 400mm, Nikkor 150mm macro, Nikkor 24-70mm. Rain covers. Extra batteries.Feedback
