Location
I took this photo at the Warren County Farmers Fair in Stewartsville, NJ. They have a huge balloon festival that they do every year and I managed to get there before they started blowing all of the balloons up.Time
Perfect time of day. The golden hour, of course. The sun was just starting to set behind the mountains and it perfectly lit just the middle balloon as it was being blown up.Lighting
When I was in Hallmark Institute of Photography, Gregory Heisler would always say photography is all about chasing light. waiting for the perfect light to present itself to you. this is all natural light, and a lot of patience.Equipment
This was taken with a Canon Rebel T2i with a 70-300mm lens.Inspiration
The light and all of the colors made it impossible to not go crazy taking tons of photos.Editing
Typically, I try to get the image as close to what I think is perfect in camera to avoid having to do lots of post processing. For this photo, all I did was some minor color and light corrections and cropped it.In my camera bag
My Canon Rebel T2i is always in my bag, along with two lenses. I keep my 18-55mm standard lens handy for wide shots and a 70-300mm lens for better detailed shots. aside from the camera body and lenses, I always have an extra battery and at least one extra SD card.Feedback
Look for what catches your eye. Not what everyone typically is looking at, but what you find interesting for one reason or another. whether it is the lighting or the subject matter that makes it interesting, if it's something you love that will come through in your photographs.
