Filling the frame really created the magic (along with the early morning clear skies) for this picture.Equipment
Canon. I love my Canon.Inspiration
I liked the colors of this balloon. It was my favorite from the festival. When I looked up, I really liked how it looked so I shot. I took several, this being my favorite. It is hanging on my wall of my study at home. It was chosen to be in a Capture My Arizona calendar. I loved the perspective as I have not seen many like this. My goal in photography is to take pictures from a different perspective. I think I nailed it. If you really want to know - this sums up life really. If you look for the same "shot" everyday, you will miss out on so much. Opening up to new things, (perspective) is so wonderful.Editing
A little brightness in Lightroom. That is all.In my camera bag
My Canon 7D and my many lenses. A cleaning cloth, coconut water and a snack (it varies).Feedback
Wait. Watch. Seriously, a lot of times we blow it because we shoot too soon. With digital, it's (obviously) easier to get the shot but shoot when you "feel" it. When you are "twitterpated" shoot like a mad (wo)man.
