Behind The Lens

Location
It was taken in Temecula near San Diego in California. I was there for a balloon ride. The photo was taken from inside the balloon while it was cruising in the sky.
Time
The photo was taken during morning timeframe.
Lighting
Since the photo was taken for the interior of the balloon, it was primarily lit by the large flame of fire. As a matter of fact, the flame was an important part of the photo itself.
Equipment
I used a Nikon 5200 DSLR on hand. I rarely use tripod unless taking photo in night setting.
Inspiration
The bright color of the balloon and the unique colorful flame inside the balloon created a charming scene. This combined with the fact that we are floating ~3000' high above ground makes it a memorable event.
Editing
I used Lightroom to do some noise, brightness and color processing.
In my camera bag
I carry my Nikon 5200 DSLR along with few lenses in my bag.
Feedback
Go outdoor, walk around, if your eye catches something interesting, capture it in camera. More unique it is, more valuable is the memory.
