Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in Frederick Colorado during their balloon festival.Time
This photo was taken early in the morning, before sunrise. The balloon was just one of two that were launched before the others even arrived.Lighting
It was dark, so I waited until the pilots fired the "candle stick" to try and capture the balloon as it self illuminated...Equipment
The only thing I used for this shot , was the Canon EOS Rebel T3Inspiration
Balloon are just magical, flight is magical...Editing
Not for this photoIn my camera bag
Camera, about three lenses, batteries, cards, and three speed lightsFeedback
make needed adjustments quick, because they are up and gone before you know it.... waiting for the pilots to get ready, (unpack and set up their balloons) can be time consuming. So be patient and stay out of their way... often they too are racing against a clock before ideal conditions to launch change...
