Location
This was taken at the Lake Havasu Balloon Festival in Arizona. This pond is on the golf course where the balloons take off from. This is my favorite event of the year.Time
This was taken around 7:30 in the morning. The perfect time of day for Photography.Lighting
This, of course, is natural light which is always the best.Equipment
This was taken with my Oylmpus E620 & my 14-54 lens, hand held, no flash.Inspiration
My friend Tina & I had seen some other people's shots of reflections in this pond so we wanted to get a shot of our own. We were lucky to be there when they were inflating these balloons.Editing
I did not do much in to this in post processing.In my camera bag
I try to only take the minimum equipment with me. I had 2 cameras, 1 lens cleaning cloth & extra xd cards.Feedback
Get to the event early and scope things out so you can find a good spot. Try and look for interesting angles, spots for reflections, close ups of details, etc. I learn a lot looking at other people's shots as well. Keep shooting, practice makes perfect & have fun!
