Location
The plainville,ct Balloon festival! This summer! 08/25/2018Time
It was taken near sunset, there were several balloons flying directly over us! There were people all over the place!Lighting
The light was so beautiful, what a great sunset it must have been for the pilots! It was also getting quite windy so they had to take off in a hurry!Equipment
Nikon D 5200 camera, ISO 100, 90mm lens, f/7.1, 1/200 sec. On a tripod!Inspiration
I am an amerature photographer, I like the composition and Blue is my favorite color, the sun setting and the excitement from the crowd, I wanted to show as much of the majestic feeling as I could... everything felt right!Editing
Just learning a few basics in Lightroom, Don’t know how to do anything amazing yet... colors are just what I saw visually!In my camera bag
Nikon D 5200, Nikki’s 18-140mm zoom, Rokinon 34mm F/1.5, Tamron 150-600 Zoom, I have two Macro lens also... and of course ND filters, and Lee square filters!Feedback
I tried to get to the fairgrounds early and talked to the pilots of the balloons and found out which way they would be taking off... had a great background with mountains but the wind changed and I took over 200 pictures to get this capture! My advice is be patient and go with the flow... things change and make the best of the situation! Love what you do!
