I never have but it's on my bucket list. Balloons have been a passion of mine e since I was little. I grew up chasing them as the passed over our home hoping to help them pack up when they landed.

Location
This photo was taken in the country in Kingsbury NY.Time
The time of day was early eveningLighting
The lighting just happen to be perfect at that moment to frate the shadow of the balloon. No adjustments had to be madeEquipment
I used a Nikon D3200 with a 55-70mm Tameron lensInspiration
The inspiration behind this is the love I shared with my Mother for hot air balloons. It was our last season of chasing balloons together before she passed. So this photo has a lot of sentimental meaning for me as the spring of that same year her and I took our first ever flight together for her last Mother's Day.Editing
I didn't have to do any post processing for this shot. It was perfect the way it wasIn my camera bag
I have two Nikon D3200 that I carry in my bag along with a spare battery.Feedback
There isn't much advice I can give you to try and capture pics like this. It happened to be right time and place right at that veryoment.
