I was doing an engagement shoot at a local Balloon Fest in Lake Havasu City back in January 2011. The couple were dressed in 1950's sytle clothes. I looked inside a Balloon that was being deflated when I noticed the shadows of people on the other side. I told the couple I was shooting to stand very close to the deflating balloon so I could see their shadows and I went back into the balloon and got this shot.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the first ever Balloonfest in Lake Havasu City, AZ.back in 2011. I was scheduled to do an engagement shoot and thought this mike make a cool place for it

Time

We started at around 3 pm..

Lighting

No...not really. It was a bright sunny day.

Equipment

It was my first camera. Canon EOS Rebel T1i

Inspiration

I was standing inside of this deflating balloon and notices that I could see silhouettes from people on the outside the balloon. So I instructed my clients to go out there and dance. Then this was my result.

Editing

Just the basics. Levels, Bightness/Contrast and Saturation.

In my camera bag

I now have the Canon EOS Rebel T3i plus a Canon EOS 5D. I also use a Yongnuo Speedlite YN560, My Lenes are Sigma 17-70 1:2.8-4,5 and a Sigma 85mm 1:1.4, I also use a Canon EFS 55-250.

Feedback

Wait for the Sun to be low in the sky to get the silhouettes in the balloon.
