Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken during the 2015 Lake Havasu Balloon Festival in Arizona. This area by the historic London Bridge is what we locals call the channel.

Time

This photo was taken in the morning just after sunrise.

Lighting

The best light is in the morning hours.

Equipment

This was taken hand held with my Olympus E620 with my 14-54mm lens.

Inspiration

This is my favorite event of the year because of the beautiful colors of the balloons. It is always a challenge to figure out where the balloons are going to end up.

Editing

I did very little post processing on this image.

In my camera bag

I like to travel light so I usually go out with 2 cameras and an extra batteries.

Feedback

Take advantage of the events in your area and get up early. Try to find unique angles and be aware of where the light is coming from.
