    Balloon Ride

    Balloon Ride

    Once again, near where I work, there is a couple of people who fly these balloons. This one has a few layers set to different presets. I think it came out ok.

    You should ask these guys for a flight Kirk, there is no better way of photographing the countryside, no vibration, no speed, this image is nice though, it is just great to do it the other way round.

    I like the effect used in this one kirk. The feint traces of the impressionist brush gives the ballon texture. I love these ballons and I am like a kid if one goes overhead as I stand waving excitedly at the people in it. I am thrilled if they wave back too. Thanks for sharing this one.

    Thanks for all your comments! I'm having a ball with all these "old" photos. Whoda thought they'd be useful sitting in the archives?

    A great picture Kirk, and I could see this as a card with the words "Good Luck!" written in the blue above the balloon!
