I've titled this "Balloon Delight" because as I was driving the 3 mile back home from my parents house yesterday evening i could'nt help but think if only i'd left 10 minutes earlier. The sun had gone down and it had stopped raking across the landscape, however the sky was too bright and even with filters attached the land was just too flat and drab, I was gazing up at the sky and spotted this balloon in the distance, that was the "delight", I quickly swapped lenses for my 70-300mm and on full zoom did the best I could, the balloon must have been at least 2 miles away, anyway I wanted to catch the beautiful tones in the clouds and the balloon was just thier for a little extra interest. Originally shot in RAW mode at 800 ISO.



PP Neat imaged, Cropped, levels slightly adjusted, resharpened and frame added.


Thanks for taking the time to look.

Hi Dean,

You know, you should do something with your hobby ;-). Sell some of them, make your own website, stock photography ;-).

Another nice shot! Why don't you post on TE as well?!
Some of your shots are perfect TE material!

Greetings, Dennis

You got the nice shot.
Nice framing.
You got the beauty of color tones on the cloud.

Nice shot Dean,

it look so tiny compare to the big sky, make one think how little we are, I like the colours here, so peaceful. I also like the mood here, feel refreshing but also lonely in the same time. Confuse, yeah I am...:P Well captured, thanks for sharing

cheers,
sweety

Hello Dean

Love this shot,dreamy coloured sky for a dreamy ballon flight, neat contrasting framing makes this an image many would be pleased to have hanging on the wall.

TFS regards Helen
