Location
I took this photo out of my bathroom window! I often look out to check for lovely skyscapesTime

Nikon D5100 with Nikkor 55-300mm telephoto lens, hand heldInspiration
I love skyscapes, the sense of freedom and adventure and this red hot air balloon set against the calm sky was a beautiful metaphor for travel and freedomEditing
just a little contrast adjustmentIn my camera bag
I always carry spare batteries and SD cards whatever camera I'm using. If I can't take a camera, I'll use my mobile, it is very rarer I'm without any way to take a photo! However, my camera bag has a Nikon D5100 & 55-300m telephoto lens, a Nikon J2 with 10-30mm lens, Nikon Coolpix P900 and Olympus Tg-1 (that one's great in wet weather as it is waterproof!) I do have filters, a tripod & a monopod but don't often used themFeedback
This is a classic example of my opportunistic approach to photography, always be on the lookout for shots, there are often opportunities when you least expect them! Equipment and camera setttings aren't always the most important as post processing can do some of the work for you, but inspiration and composition are key.
