Location
I took this picture a few hundred yards from my house. Every year there is a balloon festival a little higher up in the valley, so it's one more opportunity for me to take pictures!Time
It must have been about 11:00 on a sunny February day.Lighting
I wanted to play with the ball to partially hide the sun. Thanks to this I was able to create this effect that I particularly like!Equipment
I used my Nikon D750, with my 24-85mm f/2,8-4 lens.Inspiration
I was looking for the best place to have a maximum of balloons in my composition, but also the famous castle of Gruyères! So I walked through the surrounding fields to find the perfect place.Editing
For this picture, I just changed the brightness and contrast a little bit.In my camera bag
I never go out without my Lowepro ProTactic 450 aw bag in which I have my Nikon D750 mounted with a 24-85mm f/2.8-4 lens. My Nikon 70-300 telephoto lens is also always in this bag, next to my drone and my chargers! My Sirui tripod is hanging on the side of the bag. A notebook complements the technical equipment. As for extra equipment, matches, a compass and a cup do the trick.Feedback
My advice would be to always walk around with your camera, so that you can capture every moment of the day, whether it's fine weather or rain. It is also necessary to be on the lookout for the best light and the perfect composition.
