We headed for Hamilton in time for sunrise this morning so we could watch a Balloons Over Waikato ascension. This is New Zealand's premier hot air balloon festival and is an iconic Hamilton event that has been running for 12 years. It attracts balloonists from all over the world and this year pilots came from the US, Belgium, Taiwan and Australia, as well as a whole lot of locals from Hamilton and other parts of NZ.
@julzmaioro Thank Julia, not a patch on yours though. We had the sun behind us as it was rising and the balloons flew away from the lake. Then it clouded over and got quite dull but fortunately most of the balloons had left by then.
Fabulous! ~ I just seen these on FB and wondered which you might choose for your project ~ I love the collage! and each shot within it. The burner is brilliant and love the long shadows too.
@miata2u Thanks Peggy. I really enjoyed my ride when I went up. @hop2it Thanks Donna. The sun was quite bright behind me and shining onto the balloons and trees so they really popped against the grey clouds they were flying towards. @pitasmum Thanks Keri.
What programe did you use for the collage?
