Location
This photograph was taken in the beautiful city of Segovia (Spain). A magical city, with a lot of charm, and history. And full of precious cornersTime
This image was taken at dawn. Exactly on August 7, 2019 at 7:40 AMLighting
The light was changing and it lasted a short time. The night before it had been raining, but they announced some clearings. I made up my mind and tried my luck and hehe smiled at me. I was even excited when I saw a balloon appear on the right.Equipment
The photograph was taken with the Canon 6D camera and the 17-40 f.4 USM at 24mm. And three-step smooth gradient filter.Inspiration
I have always been in love with this city, I don't know if it is because it is my father's native city. I always dreamed of an image in this location with a spectacular sunrise and with balloons at the end, without being the time when a concentration of them is usually done, fate gave me a gift. I was inspired by movies and photographs that I had seen of this location. But what makes it special for me was the moment of light crowned with the appearance on the right and by surprise of a beautiful balloon. in the end dreams sometimes come true, you just need to put a little of yourself, perseverance and luck sooner or later appears.Editing
Yes. I did braketing, then basic development of the HDR in Raw camera and I worked the color, light and made a Dodge and Burn in PhotoshopIn my camera bag

Undoubtedly the location is beautiful in itself. What will make it special is the light conditions, especially at dawn due to the position of the sun I have also seen photographs of this snowy location and it looks like something out of a story or movie. If you pass by Segovia and you can try to make a sunrise or visit it snowy or go on the day that is the concentration of balloons, do not think about it. CHEERS
