Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken on a hot air balloon ride over the Yarra Valley in Victoria, Australia.

Time

It was very early in the morning just as the sun was rising and the mist was disappearing.

Lighting

The lighting was spectacular as the sun was rising through the mist.

Equipment

Canon EOS 5D Mark 11. Canon 24-105mm lens.

Inspiration

We had taken off in our balloon and as I looked down I saw three other balloons on the way up. Three is a good number in photography so I was happy with this shot.

Editing

Not much post-processing only minimal basic adjustments to the exposure, highlights and shadows. I removed a couple of cars on the ground which were a distraction to the balloons.

In my camera bag

Canon EOS 5D Mark11, 24-105mm and 100 - 400mm lens.

Feedback

Early mornings are the best for great shots. So get up early and go.
